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.

General Johnson provided the unforgettable stuttered vocal on "Give Me Just A Little More Time" By Chairman of The Board. He also sang lead for The Showmen on "It Will Stand", "39-21-41 Fit", and "This Misery", among others. He also wrote and sang the original version of "Patches" one of the great sappy guilty pleasures of the '70's. Not a great voice, but from late '50's doo wop, through '70's Motown-esque soul-pop, into straight schlock pop and even now, this guy made good (and often not so good) songs truly memorable by virtue of his interpretation.

Check out his cd "songs from the last century."
