"The greatest blues rock voice ever to grace a white boy"
 
In the <A HREF="http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=4099005#post4099005" target="_blank">Zep</a> thread <b>Hiro11</b> nominated Robert Plant for this and I was wondering who else was wothy of the mantle. I think "staying power" is important i.e. how long have they been around and can they still sing. The first few alternatives that came to mind - admittedly with very little thought - were:<ul><li>Glenn Hughes<li>Paul Rodgers<li>Graham Bonnet</li></ul>Opinions/Thoughts?

I pick Gregg Allman as my favorite.

I like Clapton's voice as much as his guitar.

Stevie Ray had a good blues voice.

Mick Jagger did some great blues.

Boz Scaggs on "Loan Me A Dime" is excellent.

That dude who fronted The Committments. Wow, what a voice.

He was sixteen when they filmed that movie.

Jeff Buckley, and his father Tim Buckley - though both were not necessarily considered "blues", perhaps.

Joe Cocker
John Mayall

Take your pick. Though either Cocker and Stewart could contend for the Blackest Voice to Eminate from a Caucasian award.
