The best voices I've ever heard are Sinatra and Sam Cooke. Bet rock n roll voice is probably Robert Plant.
Hard to say who the greatest female vocalist is of the post WWII era in popular music. If it's not Aretha, she's still Top 5- 10 at the bare minimum. The other thing she had going for her was backing musicians who were the best in the bidness- i.e., Muscle Shoals, ALABAMA.
Sam Cooke, BTW, was probably the best male soul/ R&B singer of all time. Also one of the more chinteresting / sketchy couch sales in the history of music.

Some incredible female vocalists over the past 75 years or so. Who's best is purely subjective and sure to be biased by the kind of music one likes, but props to many including Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Diana Ross, Whitney Houston, Barbara Streisand, Billie Holiday, Dusty Springfield, Aretha Franklin (of course), and many many more.
Maybe one of you scurvy bastards can start a best female vocalist tourney? Give the ladies some love. Just sayin.

I agree, I never like to say someone is the best of all time but, Aretha just moved me a little bit more than all the rest. I have recordings of all these artists that have been listed and wouldn’t want to be without any of them.

Unless they are crazy and/or hot, leave them off the list.
Mindy McCready and Miranda Lambert need serious consideration for top seeds.

The Throbber is damned near flaccid in anticipation.
