Best Male Singers of the 20th Century

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.

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

I know many of the contributors regard soul/rb as hardly worthy of mention but the cannon of work by this artist demands inclusion. I defy anyone to listen to "Here and Now" and not feel the tingle of emotion that occurs when a song is delivered just right. I also humbly offer for inclusion in this diverse list Mighty Sam McClain, Johnny Hartman, Kevin Mahogany, Mr. Five by Five (Jimmy Rushing) and of course the version of Al Jarreau who delivered the exquisite live set "Look to the Rainbow".
