Favorite male vocalists 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.  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.  Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. "Change is Gonna Come." Let's just leave it at that, shall we? [Edited 1/12/08 18:39pm] | |

Believe it or not, I don't care that much for Fred's voice. He has a lot of power and he sings with conviction, but I'm not really into his tone. it's very nasally and mid-rangey. | |

But, I'd take Bebe in concert over him any day. | |
