My absolute favourite version of "Unplugged" Linger, and just 2 of the many comments on Y-T, the rest of which are worth reading.
One of the most underrated singers ever, their glam pop image belies some true, true talent from the days before live auto tune and digital enhancement when a singer had to actually be able to fkn sing .... Noddy Holder.
Like 'em or not, you can't deny a superb voice.

Another vote for Freddie Mercury.

I first thought too many favourites to choose just one really but, after listening to most of my favourites this afternoon and evening, I have made my choice, Freddie Mercury for me.
EDIT. I wish to retract my choice due to having listened to some more of my favourites and they are all my favourites so i can not choose one, out of here now.

Tough choice.
Male singers?
Mainly between Tom Jones and Leonard Cohen for me - both have great qualities and great weaknesses / aspects which I dislike.
Female?
Whitney Houston for her range, Stevie Nicks or Christine Perfect / McVie for that certain "je ne sais quoi." Tina Turner?
Joan Baez?
500 miles
Lisa Fischer? @Jagman
Never heard of her? Watch this "Gimme Shelter" with the Rollling Stones
Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane?
Whie Rabbit at Woodstock
EDIT
Not forgetting Chris Farlowe! Lead singer with Coliseum for many years - weird looking fecker though, gets more like "Uncle Festus" from the Addams Family every time I see him! Oh, and Paul Jones. And....

Merry Clayton - the orginal female singer on Gimme Shelter
With Mick Taylor - the Stones' best line up ever?
