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

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

john421, George Michael was such a pop figure that I think he often gets overlooked in regard to his voice. I was never a big fan and I'm still not but I do own Freedom '90 almost entirely because of how big and soulful his voice is.
