Roy Orbison, hands down. Incredible.

Freddie Mercury.

Paul Rogers.

Chris Cornel, Nat King Cole, Michael Bolton, Sebastian Bach, Paul Rodgers, Ronnie James Dio, Elvis Costello, Sammy Hagar, Harry Connick, Stevie Wonder, Lionel Ritchie, [And the guy who sings for NickelBack]

Yeah V&B Chad Kroger is awesome (the singer from Nickelback)

This one is a little tough for me. Just five. hmmmm

I have to agree on Michael Bolton ~ I think most women would

Geoff Tate - Queensryche
Freddie Mercury - Queen
Ronnie James Dio - Sabbath / Solo
Bruce Dickenson - Iron Maiden

Hey Sis, Conway, one of the most versatile artist I believe. Sings low, high, soft, climatic, Maybe my favorite all around vocalist. I cheated! Named more than five. Its frustrating tyying to name 10 or 20 without knowing your missing so many other greats. Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, David Coverdale OH! Im sorry. Its not my turn l
