    Re: Best Voice

    The recordings are probably too old to do justice, but the old-timers would swear that Enrico Caruso was the best, even better than Pavarotti, Domingo, Bocelli, etc.

    For popular music--

    Rock- Sebastian Bach actually has an incredible voice.

    Jazz- Ella Fitzgerald

    Country- Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, & Willie Nelson, although perhaps not the best in the technical sense, each had (or in Willie's case has) a voice with such an unmistakable, unique, and resonant quality.

    That caught my attention as well...rockers must have a different criteria for what a "singer" really is...that said, love both of those two!

    No mention of Freddie Mercury?

    Best Rock voice of all time is a duel between Robert Plant and Chris Cornell.
    "What a horrible night to have a curse."
    -Simon Belmont

    "Please bury me with all my stuff, because you know it's mine..."
    -Master Shake

    My votes have to go to Marvin Gaye for male and Aretha Franklin for female.
