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

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.

Sinatra excluded there is only one Joe Cocker at the Fillmore East.

Someone wants to hear the real pavarotti. Look for la Bohéme with pavarotti and Freni. Decca. Best opera recording ever. Not without faults but the live feeling...and the voices!
