Best Male Singers of the 20th Century


There is an interesting current discussion about the best female vocalists on CD. I have my own ideas about the best male singers (any category) of the 20th Century, but would like to hear other opinions.

Mr. Sinatra, Mr. Hartman, Ray Charles, Joe Turner and Louie Armstrong.
if your list would not include Satchmo you need to listen to either an original Audio Fidelity pressing of his "St. James Infirmary" (from the 50's) or the Classic Records 45 rpm remastered version. it is an amazing recording of an incredible vocal performance (and of each instrument) and every analog listener owes it to his or her self to get this before dinner tonight! go without dinner if necessary, sell your car, whatever it takes... this is the real deal!
Hmmmm....How about some votes for uniqueness of voice with regard to this topic:

Tom Waits
Peter Gabriel
Richard Butler (Psychedelic Furs)

CD
Coolest guy of all time: (ALWAYS GOT THE HOT CHICKS)

The King

For rock and roll all time: Robert Plant
For soul: Marvin Gaye
For heavy metal current: The guy from Disturbed
(Their new DVD-A is pretty impressive)
