BEST MALE VOCAL EVER

While I wouldn’t consider him to be "best ever," IMO Jay Black (often referred to as "The Voice") definitely deserves mention in this conversation.

And that would apply even when he was 72+ years old:

Also, the late British singer Matt Monro (sometimes referred to as "the British Frank Sinatra") deserves mention IMO.

In saying all of this, I am assuming the thread is not intended to encompass opera and classical singers.

Simply Red
Al Jerreau.
Roger Daltry
But Freddy Mercury is the standout

Barry White, one of the best.

Freddie Mercury
Paul Rodgers
Steve Walsh(pre 1982)
