Al Jarreau, Take Five.

[Sangria]

He had a very good touch for a target man didn’t he. Especially with his in-step.

Remember him playing at Anfield once and no matter how hard or high the ball was fizzed at him he was always killing it softly with his tongue.

I can't believe I missed this line first time round.

Drugs have robbed us of some great singers, two from my 20's and two bands I'm listening to at the min.

[Baby Huey]

Probably the greatest of all the female vocalists, definitely the bravest.

Samara Joy. 23. She sounds like Ella Fitzgerald’s sister.

Paul Simon has possibly the best phrasing of any singer.. his timing is immaculate.   The two of them are sublime.

I have just done a Simon & Garfunkel playlist for my new phone about 35 songs on it and I can honestly say not a poor one among them, their consistency is quite stunning. I think even now they are incredibly underrated as singers.

[Zeppelin]

Floor Jansen of Nightwish

I'd go for Noriko Awaya myself. Opposed Japanese militarists and supported western culture during WWII, celebrated when Japan surrendered. Stories of her singing to US POWs in English at a time when western culture was banned in Japan. What is definite is that she refused to include any patriotic songs in her repertoire during the war, and constantly clashing with the establishment at the time.
