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.

Smoky Robinson: "Tracks Of My Tears", and " My Girl Has Gone". Marvin gay.
Eric Clapton: "Sunshine of Your Love", and Others.
Alot of older artists: Roy Orbison, etc.
Newer ones to me are the singers from Aerosmith, and Metallica.
Don Van Vliet,Damo Suzuki,Lee Ving,
Kurt Cobain,Suzanne Lewis,Howlin" Wolf,and of course the venerable Yoshida Tatsuya and Sasaki Hisashi
