I can't believe that no one has mentioned the two men who, in my opinion, have the greatest voices of the past 50 years:

James Brown
Otis Redding

No one has ever had more range or passion than these two men.

No one's mentioned Sam Cooke!! For shame...

I'd also agree with Grimfarrow on Tim and Jeff Buckley.


Thanks,

Scott Stapp. Easily the best vocalist in the last 300 years.

Wouldn't that be "best vocalist in the last 2002 years - give or take a decade?"

Since the man strikes the "Jesus Christ pose" a little too often for most people's taste.

Maybe not the best but some of my favorites:

Todd Rundgren
Steve Marriott
B.B. King
Another vote for Marvin Gaye
David Sylvian
Jack Bruce
ohgr

Some who forgot their roots along the way:
Faces era Rod Steward
Traffic era Steve Winwood
Madman era Elton John
