I don't know that I have favorite vocalists - kind of like having a favorite flavor of ice cream I guess - but any list has to include both Linda Ronstadt and Bonnie Raitt, IMHO
I guess you have to add Patsy Cline and Lou Rawls
For 'today's version' of Roy Orbison, you have to add Raul Malo of The Mavericks (can't wait to see Raul & the boys in June)

There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die. -
Just some of my favorites for vocals listing my absolute favorites for each. I could name several for each, especially Joplin & Cocker:
Janis Joplin.. Down on Me
Joe Cocker..Delta Lady
Larry Gatlin..Broken Lady
Otis Redding..Dock of the Bay
Bob Seger..Main Street
Aretha Franklin..RESPECT.. is also right there.
I MUST add my single all time favorite...Eric Clapton. I'm not sure he ever did a song I didn't like, whether solo or as part of a number of groups.

Cal, did you like her duet album with Robert Plant?
FWIW, I liked it a lot John
************************************
I did - I wouldn't have thought that duet pair would work, but
it really did. I just think that Alison Krauss is magic. And, btw,
Garth Brooks has a great voice.
I'm still waiting for Steve to tell me that a duet with him and Alison Krauss is secretly
in the works......

Cal, did you like (Krauss') duet album with Robert Plant?
FWIW, I liked it a lot
Awesome pairing...
I owe knowing this one to XM Radio's "Deep Tracks" where they had real DJs who always mixed some new music with their Classic rock deep dives.
-
My eclectic 2 cents worth:
1) Prince (first, foremost and always)
2) Meatloaf
3) Ted Neeley (Jesus Christ Superstar. (I have the pleasure of knowing him, amazing man and he has an amazing voice)
4) Journey (with Steve Perry)
5) Alice Cooper (going to see him May 17th, yay!)
6) Dean Martin
7) Elvis
The Beatles9) Buddy Holly

Cows, good call on Ted Neeley! What a great voice.
Saw him perform Superstar, once with Carl Anderson and once with some other guy.

Carl had the voice of am angel. Ted is an awesome guy all the way around. Plus he loves my pecan pies and buckeyes lol. I was never fortunate enough to meet Carl. I wish I had. But the first time they did Superstar without him it was with Corey Glover in 2006 then it was James Delisco after that. I thought James did an excellent job as Judas, almost as if he was channeling Carl, he was amazing. The last time I saw Ted was somewhere near the Natural History Museum last March when they were doing the special screenings and I got to meet Barry Dennen who was Pontius Pilot in the film and Bob Bingham who was Ciaphas. Ted was also in Quentin Tarentino's Django Unchained, the story I could tell you about that casting, lol. But Ted also has another cd fairly new called Workin' For The Words. Great stuff.
