Hi... Looking forward to opinions from all who enjoy vocals.
MY VOTE is for a man who was a pioneer: creative, articulate, with a suave and sophisticated exterior and a voice unheard again to this day; he died far too young - NAT KING COLE
Freddie Mercury. He did rock/pop to perfection. No one did it 'bigger'. He could have sung opera. Anything really. Personally think he is head and shoulders above all the rest
Paul Rodgers is up there in my opinion because he can still do it.
Robert Plant was up there in my opinion but he has lost almost all of his former range.
The real conversation ender is probably Pavoratti but I don't know enough about opera to say. Maybe Caruso but there are no recordings that can actually demonstrate his talent as they are all crude and tinny.
john421, George Michael was such a pop figure that I think he often gets overlooked in regard to his voice. I was never a big fan and I'm still not but I do own Freedom '90 almost entirely because of how big and soulful his voice is.
