There is an interesting current discussion about the best female vocalists on CD. I have my own ideas about the best male singers (any category) of the 20th Century, but would like to hear other opinions.
Its difficult to go against frank Sinatra for diction and use of a lyric but the orchestrations often beat the life out him, another good shot is Vic Damone who Sinatra always rated highly.
Tom Waits. Chet Baker. David Bowie - the best all round singer, performer and innovator Nick Drake - do yourself a favor and listen to him Leonard Cohen - spooky spooky spooky Elvis Costello - his voice is just amazing, and his lyrics ain't bad
