BEST MALE VOCAL EVER

Hi... Looking forward to opinions from all  who enjoy vocals.

MY VOTE is for a man who was a pioneer: creative, articulate, with a suave and sophisticated exterior and a voice unheard again to this day; he died far too young - NAT KING COLE

If you leave out about 50 opera singers who could sing far better than any of them and who were male, it is +1 for KURT ELLING !
