Your favorite male soul voices

James Taylor, Really???

Re those not yet mentioned:
Although not at all a fan of disco, has anybody ever heard Jimmy Ellis scream "Satisfaction, came in a chain reaction"(Disco Inferno). Don’t know much else about the group but boy did that guy have lungs.

Dennis Edwards-Temptations (after Ruffin)

I can't see James Taylor and Jim Morrison on a list of great soul singers.

In fact, I don't see any of these folks on a SOUL list:

Chris Stapelton
James Taylor
Willie Nelson
Johnny Cash
Kenny Rodgers
Kris Krisoferson

All great singers in their own right, and some of them might have some 'soul' but they are not soul singers.

I think some folks missed the "soul" part.

Hey.
Many great voices listed here but Donny Hathaway deserves a spot near the top of the list. Not only a great voice but also a brilliant song writer and arranger.

PS
Among contemporary musicians, Sam Smith and Kwaye deserve nods.
