Brad Delp

 

Dude had pipes. RIP

 

Mercury is the obvious choice. Not just for his voice, but for his stage presence. That man could work a crowd like no other.

Jerry Garcia

Freddy Mercury

Peter Gabriel

Phil Collins(before he got sappy)

Rod Stewart(before he got sappy)

Robert Lamm

Dave Matthews

Warren Zevon

Sting

Steve Perry of Journey.(back in the day)

 

Ah, the man who ruined Journey. I can't stand his voice.

 

In no particular order and certainly not complete:

 

Van Morrison

Lowell George

James Dewar

James Brown

Otis Redding

Dean Martin

Chet Baker (I know---but it works for me)

Sam Cooke

Ray Charles

Levon Helm/Richard Manuel (Rick Danko, too)

Steve Winwood (young)

Dave Mason

David Clayton Thomas

Doug Gray (young)

 

Very close would be:

 

Curtis Mayfield

Smokey Robinson

Al Green

Sly Stone

Wilson Pickett

Greg Allman

 

You get the drift.

Since Mercury's already been mentioned...David Lee Roth. Before he got old, bald, and desiccated, at least.

 

Axle Rose

 

First, it's "Axl," you idiot.

 

Second...he's actually got quite a bit of classical voice training. Not many people realize that, since he spent so much of his time with Guns 'n' Roses screeching.
