Thanks for the assist.

I have much disdain for Sting still, but I can admit he is a good singer. :-)

I just assumed that Acarr (http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showpo...7&postcount=71) was referring to a brother (cousin?). I dunno.

I'm not really much into gospel but colelctively, The Blind Boys of Alabama also belong (gotta go back a few years though, they had one or two members die in the last few years)

Also Cee-Lo Green when he's not rapping, is like Marvin Gaye, just an octave or so higher.

And of course William Hung.

I'm surprised they slipped they (nearly) through the cracks :-)

The duet he did with Shakira was just indescribable.

I'd have to say that Burton Cummings of The Guess Who had the quintessential rock & roll voice and for country/folk it would have to be Gordon Lightfoot. :-)
