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

+1  Sam Cooke and Lou Rawls on "Bring it on Home to Me" are indeed incomparable.
Agree with those above.  Also, among the best voice quality, Shawn Phillips. I love his album Second Contribution
Put on some headphones and listen to Robert Johnson sing Dead Shrimp Blues..  Wow

Always was partial to some early sides from Luther Allison.  Really great voice.  Check out the stuff from the Ann Arbor Blues Festival.


Easy one: Sinatra
Absolutely perfect tuning
Full control on his voice, can make it sound velvety or harsh
And what really sets him apart: phrasing, to die for, up there with the best jazz player ever
