There are many who I could choose as the best vocal voice of all time but my pick is Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam. What a voice, it is haunting at times.

My personal favorite is Ray Charles - he could sing anything, and I'd love it. His voice is so beautiful to listen to.

I think I've mentioned elsewhere that I'm getting hooked on Sinatra, as well. I brought a CD of his to school and somehow my teacher agreed to play it - likely because he's also a fan. We were treated to him attempting to sing "My Way," which I loved, but most of the other students considered torture.

I love Andrea Bocelli. If you ever get a chance, listen to him sing Sogno, and then read the lyrics. The first time I ever heard him sing it was during a televised concert. It was his first public appearance after the death of his father, and he dedicated it to his father. He moved the entire audience to tears, he sang it so beautifully.

Apple, I happen to like Mandy Patinkin. He's so much fun in concert, and he has a lovely voice. Not sure what to make of your Pia Zadora pick, though.

Andrea Bocelli is my favorite! Absolutely one of, if not the best. Even when you may not even understand the words to his songs being that they are in Italian, you definitely get the feeling and the understanding of what he is signing about.

I believe that at the end of the month he is releasing a new CD titled 'Mascagni: Cavalleria Rusticana'

Another one of my favorite songs is 'Canto Della Terra'

:rolleyes:

Andrea Bocelli appeared in concert with Celine Dion and a duet of theirs is featured on her Christmas CD released several years ago. Although the song has absolutely NOTHING to do the the holidays which I hate when they do that on Christmas albums...it is in fact a lovely piece and their voices harmonize exquisitely.

Hey. I happen to like Claude Raines.

He's so much fun in the movies and has a great voice.

I particularly enjoyed him in Casablanca, but also found him quite touching in Mrs. Skeffington.

He might just steal every scene he stars in, I think. The Invisible Man is fantasic. But I haven't seen nearly enough.

Onto singers, then. And in order to justify this brief, very spontaneous list, I must define a great voice: to evoke emotion in the listener.

In no order:

Gordon Lightfoot
Bryan Ferry
Bob Dylan
Thom Yorke
Chris Martin
José González
Rebekah Del Rio
Enya

In addition to many of those already listed, how about Jay Black (the second "jay", and not Jay Traynor, the first "jay") from Jay and the Americans. Powerful, accurate voice with great range.

...maybe not the best voice ever, but vastly underrated and overlooked...and in a class with many of yesterday and today's pop singers listed in this discussion...

Without question, Frank Sinatra. He is American Music. He sings a song in a way that any man would sing it if he could.

Jackie Wilson was the best popular singer of the Fifties.
Smokey Robinson took that title in the Sixties.
The best singer, overall, for whom we have competent recordings is Jussi Bjoerling.
The actor with the best speaking voice was Basil Rathbone.

I don't think a best exists. But if I had to name my favorite, I would say Thom Yorke. He has a very original and innovative tone that everyone seems to be immitating now.


"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."
