A friend once called his voice "verbal diarehha". Hehe.

Overall:
Female -
Dusty Springfield
Male -
Marvin Gaye
Some of my other favorites:
Frank Sinatra
Al Green
Diana Ross
Bjork
John Lennon
And a *big* vote for Thom Yorke. Some of the performances he puts in are simply astonishing in how he morphs his voice and transforms his vocal style from album to album. Great pipes on that guy.

I have to agree with a previous poster, Allison Krauss could sing the phone book and it would rule. Anyone wanting to hear one of, if not the best voice in any genre, check out her song, "maybe". Other pics: I don't think i saw anyone mention enya, i like those haunting songs, like "may it be" from LOTR etc.

Eva Cassidy has an awesome voice. (The LATE Eva Cassidy, I should say.) I can't say she's the greatest, because that's just simply hard to say. But there's way too much passion in her voice to overlook such vocal talent. It's almost like she's experiencing some sort of epiphany while she's singing.

No question -- Ray Charles. A voice of infinite soul, of course, but also of great emotional shading, to where he could alternately break your heart and make you cackle at his wickedness.
