Now, past the obvious?
I get that Linda Thompson might not exactly be a household name, but she should be.

Cher
Get that there is sort of a "Well, I Know Her From A Certain Point Forward..." thing when it comes to her. That said, she is no joke.

One other one...
Bondy and Anne Marie Griffin.
I get that most of the time they were not really singing things that would get folks thinking "Hey, That Pair Are Great Singers..."
That said, they were really something else under the right circumstances.

Paul Robeson. Not just for his voice…though it was one of the greatest of the 20th century…but also for the life he lived.

Another vote for Freddie Mercury as I listen to "Bohemian Rhapsody".

This is correct. All right thinking persons acknowledge Freddie was a god of singers. The things he could do with his voice make my throat hurt and my mind explode. He has a nice statue in his honor in Montreux, Switzerland, which is kept supplied with fresh flowers. I'm sure he'd be happy for the now SIR Astrophysicist Brian May BTW.

A favorite of my late parents. Without them, I'd never have known his story, which as you say was quite remarkable. Wish I could have met and talked with him for a bit. Originally Posted by JackDaw

John Fogerty. He didn't have the greatest range, but he was THE perfect singer for what he did, Southern Rock/Blues Rock. Also, Mick was perfect for The Stones' music, as was Roger Daltrey for The Who's music, and is still a fine blues singer.
David Bowie is one I'd put forth. And ignoring his personal life, Michael Jackson. Motown as a whole, there are so many great singers there. Also, classic country, not the current corporate country stuff that's barely better than elevator music. That was filled with great singers.
