For male vocalist you should check out Jeff Buckley's Grace. The closest I could compare him to would be early Van. Jimmy Page said it was his favorite CD of the 90s.
For females the guy who mentioned Ella hit the nail right on the head. Otherwise for pop stuff Linda Ronstadt is pretty amazing.

I actually own the early CD that had the raw live tracks of some of the tunes on Grace. It's really amazing.
Ian Gillian
Definitely. Best song was still "Child in Time".
1968?
Dio is up there. Robert Plant.
Amy Lee from Evanescance & Jewel
I actually saw Jewel the fist time she ever played in Boston.
Chris Cornell
I'll think of more............
Eddie Vedder? Good first album. Not groundbreaking,not spectacular, just good. I wish he just shut up after that. But he can't.
Green River and Mudhoney and Mother Love Bone. Much better.
And my pick for the SSB will always be Rene Rancourt.
-Howlin' Wolf
-Gram Parsons
-Jon Anderson (Yes)
-new entry - Jim James (My Morning Jacket)
" the fisherman taking a great cod line to which he fasteneth a peece of lobster and threwes it into the sea. The rockfish biting at it, he pulls her to him and knockes her on the head with a sticke."
For this one it's gotta be Steve Perry (HANDS DOWN!) , lead singer of Journey (one of my favorites). Man, I think he's got that perfect singing voice for any rock song. He can sing any crappy song and it will sound golden to me! Close second is Freddie Mercury of Queen... another unbelievable voice. I don't think there is anyone that can take some notes as high has he does....phew!
For other voices... Anyone ever heard Josh Groban? I don't listen to him, but my mom and sister do, and he has a pretty impressive voice.
Then for a voice of today - if you wanna call it that.
Brandon Boyd- Lead singer of Incubus, i've become a fan of them lately with the release of " Dig " and their other songs like " Drive " and " Which You Were Here " (btw not a PF cover)
- Drive
- Dig

Katie....funny you should mention it....Not what I would normally listen to but a friend of mine had tickets (and no one to go with)to see him a Mohegan a couple weeks ago and so I went. Again not my type of music but he does have a strong voice for sure!
Freddie M. definately had a voice!
I dont know what it is but Bob Seger's got that "sexy smoldering" tone that I just cant resist...ooh if I ever met him and he spoke to me I would probably faint...
Heck I know there is more but I just lost my train of thought!
Surprised no one mentioned my favorite...Paul Rodgers (Bad Company) The guy is awesome.I am all over the place with this stuff cause I like everything depending on mood.
Ronnie James Dio..
James Taylor..
Female..this is more difficult for me I have alot I like...But I like -Anita Baker, Susan Tedeschi
cant beleive I forgot Nat King Cole, he is my all time favorite, thansk for the reminder.
I have to agree w/Spence and Katie, I always liked Steve Perry, even in the sappy crap.

I like Steve Perry, a very good singer, but he sings through his nose a bit!
Deep Purple's lead singer, can't remember his name at this moment, had a hell of a voice too.
Ian Gillian...he was also Jesus Christ in Jesus Christ Superstar.
For singers that really put feeling into there vocals I like Joe Cocker, Ray Charles and Janis Joplin. they sing it like it MEANS something to them
For Front men I like Roger Daltry, Steven Tyler, Robert Plant, Eddie Vetter and Micheal Stipe......Not technically the best but I think there voices are what make there music what it is.
The absolute Best voice around.......Aretha...my god when that woman sings it is truly Amazing.
Got to also give some Kudos to Whitney Houston (Pre-Bobby Brown) she had a spectacular voice.....listen to her rendition of the Star Spangled Banner if you doubt that.
"If you're arguing with an idiot, make sure he isn't doing the same thing."
Deep Purple's lead singer, can't remember his name at this moment, had a hell of a voice too.
Early Deep Purple (Hush era) Rod Evans
He also was the lead singer later on for Captain Beyond
No one mentioned Edgar Winter (Tobacco Road)
