vocalists

[dbw]

The Buckleys are a good one!  I like Jeff Buckley's voice even though I'm not into his music.

That reminds me of another good vocalist... Eagle-Eye Cherry.  His dad is also a great musician, though not a vocalist.

Very glad to see Nick Drake mentioned! And Bob Marley and Jeff Buckley too.

For a voice somewhat reminiscent of Jeff Buckley but much more 'laid back' and quirky, I love Andrew Bird.

Since this is FAVORITE, and not best, I'll just throw these out there, I'm not saying they are the best, mind you, just some of my favorites:

Dudes:  Johnny Cash, Nick Cave, Bon Scott, Steve Marriot, BB King, Son House, Gram Parsons

Dudettes: Emmylou Harris, Alison Kraus, Billy Holiday, Kim Gordon



And just for the record, Courtney Hole isn't talented, and Celine Dione is an overrated caterwauler.

How could I have forgotten Billie Holiday. Thank you thank you thank you.  :hello2:

 

[RLW]

This was difficult, but I'll be brief. From the top...

Male: Jack Bruce, Paul Rodgers, Iggy, Ray Charles, Paul Robeson.

Female: Sara Hickman, Grace Slick, Lucinda Williams, Patsy Cline, Ella.

As with other favorite instrumentalists, I could continue until I broke the internet. There's so many great ones.
