For three part harmony
Lennon/McCartney/Harrison
cause when they sing they all sound like one

Sandy Denny
Maggie Bell
Aretha Franklin
Ray Charles
Alison Krauss
Van Morrison
Gregg
Susan

Add Greg Lake to this list.
Ruthie Foster & Warren Haynes
here's proof...
Dave Mason has stood the test of time
Frank Sinatra when I'm in the mood. His 1966 Live at the Sands with Count Basie is really good
Gregg Allman, Jimi on All Along the Watchtower. Whoever is singing Ventura Highway by America. Bobby Darin Beyond the Sea plus the drummer is great. Glen Frey and Don Henley are okay at times.
Van Morrison is nice on a Sunday morning.
Paul Rodgers as a few have mentioned. He is my all-time favorite.
Lou Gramm
Wilson Pickett on Hey Jude
Gregg of course
Neil Young
And Bruce Sprnigsteen
That would probably be in order.

Everything in Moderation. Including Moderation.
Mavis
Delbert
Janis
Lots of favs among those mentioned but Linda Ronstadt may have had the most beautiful voice.
Agree that Jim Morrison is definitely in the mix.
Gregg. Seems like I appreciate him more (that being possible) as time goes on.
A lot of the names already mentioned here. For female vocalist, Bonnie Raitt, certainly.
One I haven't seen and wonder if y'all think belongs in this list - Chris Robinson. For what he did with the Crowes, I think he does. I like his CRB work, too.
I'm surprised no mentioned Steve Winwood. His age has taken a tiny toll though.
Also surprised I didn't see John Fogarty And again the age factor.

Ha! Ha! I actually like Geddy Lee. Not for everyone but works for me.
Lots of favs among those mentioned but Linda Ronstadt may have had the most beautiful voice.
Agree that Jim Morrison is definitely in the mix.
Could not agree more on both points.Linda was always my favorite vocalist.
A few others:
Annie Haslam
Pat Benatar
Rhiannon Giddens
I agree with most of those listed so far. Different styles and approaches, but all good.
I would have to add Mike Mattison; he's like the Swiss Army knife of vocalists.
Glenn Hughes is awesome!!!
Eddie Vedder and Susan Tedeschi are 2 singers who really can do it live. A lot of singers are studio wonders; these two really deliver it on stage.
Some singers I love because of their amazing sound and attitude and uniqueness are Bon Scott, David Bowie, Johnny Rotten, Paul Westerberg, and Jeff Tweedy.
Rod Stewart's early stuff & Faces & Jeff Beck Band is wonderful. He was a truly great singer who really made you feel it.
Finally: Rick Danko. Pure soulful vocals.
Paul Rodgers
Mick Jagger
Gregg
Elvis
Chris Cornell
Scott Weiland
Aretha
Steve Winwood
