the best singer you've ever heard?

[Recca Gatsby]

This is tough

 

[duncanthetall]

N/H, and I dunno about pure talent, but I've always appreciated Bill Wither's singing voice more so than pretty much anybody and is who I often (and horribly) try to emulate when I sing.

 

[Professor Mac]

Patty Lebell

Whitney Houston

Mario

Lloyd

 

[TrebleMan]

Best have already been mentioned in this thread.

My personal favorites:
Ralph Tresvant
Whitney Houston
Peabo Bryson
Raphael Saadiq
Barbara Weathers from Atlantic Starr

They all just got real clean sounding voices.
