Greg Lake - "Lucky Man" and "Still You Turn Me On" from "Welcome Back My Friends To The Show That Never Ends"
I know this is an old post but I have been listening to Colin Haye for months and can't get it out of my head. He is the former singer from Men at Work in the 80's. I never cared for them then but this album is stuck on me. Just him and an acoustic guitar.
This is a slight cheat on the subject, but I find it an incredible recording:

Open Fire, Two Guitars - Johnny Mathis

Joan Biaz - "Diamonds and Rust" (can't recall which old album this came from but this is definitely up there with the very best)
Diamonds and Rust is from "Diamonds and Rust" (A&M SP4527) released in 1975. However, this song is not a voice and single instrument recording. There is a full instrumental ensemble including an ARP synthesizer.
Philbrady - agree on the Colin Haye disc, it just stays and stays in my player sometimes, great songs, solid artist, good recording...
