Best Male Singers of the 20th Century


There is an interesting current discussion about the best female vocalists on CD. I have my own ideas about the best male singers (any category) of the 20th Century, but would like to hear other opinions.

Its Ray Charles, of course!
The single most influential singer of all time.
A great blues singer who kick-started Rock'n'Roll went on to invent Soul and is the inspiration behind ALL of the sixties british bands like the Stones,Beatles,Kinks and the Animals who, in turn, influenced countless american bands. Modern music would be unrecognizable without Ray.
Objectively, he'll be hard to beat.
