Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice?

There have been successful singers in almost any style that realistically did not have a "golden" voice. Perhaps guilty pleasures. Who are yours?

Listen to Engine, Engine #9, when he says these lines on later verses: "I'm a little upset, yes" "Coming down the railroad line..." Roy Orbison was a superb singer that many couldn't match. Great list folks!

You gotta be joking. Not just (by far) the best voice in the Wilburys, Orbison had one of the greatest male singing voices ever heard in rock, a pure soaring tenor. Plus so sad he passed early, but that does mean his voice never aged or deteriorated. We can love it forever. Were you listening from the garden?
