Stokely -- he's inventive and has crazy range.

BeBe Winans -- tone, power and really cool phrasing.

Nat "King" Cole -- smoothness, enunciation and nuance

Terence Trent D'arby -- TTD/Sananda has so much grit and sweetness, I think his is rock music's perfect voice. Truly.

Stevie Wonder -- clarity, range and emotion

Maxwell -- A killer falsetto and an awesome ability to convey feeling.

D'angelo -- Bruh's voice just smolders. Doesn't move me the same way, but my female friends love him. lol And you hear a lot of church in his stuff. He just needs to study Cole's enunciation and quit mumbling.

Donny Hathaway -- Oh my gosh. Donny wrote the book on soul singing. Countless contenders to his throne have studied that book well (Doyle Bramhall II, Harry Connick Jr., Kenny Lattimore, etc.)

Sting -- it's his accent, mostly. But dude's phrasing is really cool.

Marvin Sapp -- goodness gracious. Born to sing gospel. I'd hate to follow him in concert.

David Hollister -- Power and nuance.

Anthony Hamilton -- What vibrato and feeling. Soul.
Al Green -- This brother. disbelief Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. "Change is Gonna Come." Let's just leave it at that, shall we? disbelief

Well a few that i didnt see listed

Johnny Mathis alot of people forget him mainly because of Nat King Cole, but Johnny is pretty amazing in his vocals

Morten Harket (lead singer of a-Ha) 25 years later this guy has not lost a step, and of course still owns the guiness record for longest note on record at 21 seconds, and its not one of those "pro tools" notes. Possibly the best male vocalist in the pop/rock field

Russell Hitchcock- lead singer of Air Supply

Dennis Deyoung- former co-lead singer of Styx

Jesse Powell

I remember hearing Jesse sing in high school, and I am glad he had some success. Hopefully, he will have new music soon.

He's the dude who sings the falsetto parts?
Love 'im! woot!


Yep, that's him. There's nothing better than a great falsetto. Of course, a great falsetto means nothing without great music behind it and Lakeside definately delivered that.
Andy is a four letter word.

It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

Why? Is he too feminine to be considered a great male vocalist? You're so homophobic. Next you're going to tell me Prince can't be considered a great female vocalist because she's so butch.
