Alison Krauss & Karen Carpenter ..... Two exceptionally beautiful female singing voices

Male singers..... gonna go out on a limb and go for Tunde Baiyewu (ex lead singer of the Lighthouse Family)

Prob. already been mentioned many times but...

Karen Carpenter, Whitney Houston, Amy Winehouse, Barbra Streisand, Norah Jones, Aretha Franklin, Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James...plus many more

Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, Freddie Mercury, George Michael, Elvis Presley, Nat King Cole...plus many more

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Whitney Houston had a set of pipes on her – not my cup of tea though.

I prefer a distinctive voices to a technically good one:
Bob Dylan (sounds like a mumbling tramp)
Roy Orbison
Johny Cash
etc
