*psssst* Tom, 73, not 77...

Oh, and add Sting to the list (as much disdain as I have for him these days, I must admit he is a very good vocalist, and unlike many, he actually can sing)

A typo typo, Adam?

Thanks for the assist.

I have much disdain for Sting still, but I can admit he is a good singer.

Well, if I had't have pointed it out, we would have ended up with "77. Ronnie James Davis, Jr."

One of the things about Sting is that some shows, it just sounds like he just doesn't give a crap - others, he really tries. Runs real hot and cold.

I just assumed that Acarr (http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showpo...7&postcount=71) was referring to a brother (cousin?). I dunno.

How can you have a list of great male vocalists and not include Tom "The Voice" Jones?

Or Sammy Davis Jr?

Or Big Joe Turner?

Or Captain Beefheart?

Or Tom Waits?

I'm not really much into gospel but colelctively, The Blind Boys of Alabama also belong (gotta go back a few years though, they had one or two members die in the last few years)

Also Cee-Lo Green when he's not rapping, is like Marvin Gaye, just an octave or so higher.

And of course William Hung.

I'm surprised they slipped they (nearly) through the cracks

The duet he did with Shakira was just indescribable.

I'd have to say that Burton Cummings of The Guess Who had the quintessential rock & roll voice and for country/folk it would have to be Gordon Lightfoot.
