I love to hear actor Bronson Pinchot sing so much at the 7:40 mark of this clip!

God bless you and him always!!!

Voices...I missed that in the topic heading....geez. Okay, vocals only definitely these guys need to be given a shout out for vocals. The well-known song, Hallelujah, has been done by many a band. This version, imho, is the best version ever heard hands-down. The last guy who sings 4th blows me away, Kurt Nilsen of Norway and a former World Idol winner. That guy who goes third also has a uniquely raspy voice sounding a bit like a younger Joe Cocker and quite good too.

Personally, I like a wide variety of music genres, so I'll just go with a few of my favorite rock n roll singers.

There are plenty of great singers but not many have something special to say. Using that criteria I have to go with Bob Dylan as my #1. Another favorite is Jethro Tull.

Ian Anderson may win the prize for originality. Great voice ( and flute player)

ELLA.
Not so much for the timbre of her voice but for what she could do with it scatting improvised melodies. When Ella got started there wasn't a soloist on ANY instrument who could match her. About 1:40 here....

Sweeping glissandos, Portuguese. Buzzing sounds. Pentatonic scales. Every breath used to max potential.

 

[QuickHitCurepon]

Debbie Harry of Blondie and as a solo artist was really good at bringing words to life.

I noticed you have trouble posting videos. Here ya go

Just copy the YouTube (or whatever site) link, look under that middle drop-down that looks like an ellipsis (...), choose "Media" and paste the URL in there.

Don't use the video-camera button, that's for uploading your own video. Hope this helps.

I like the Jeff Buckly version better.

Paul Rodgers

Donald Fagan

Mariah Carey would be great in any genre...

I would agree with Angelo that Paul Rodgers my personal favorite and definitely one of the greatest vocalists of all time in any genre. I do much prefer his work with Free and still have all their albums.

Paul Rodgers with Free - Goodbye Album Free At Last

Free - Catch A Train
