In that genre I'd x out Al Green and go with David Ruffin or Bobby Womack even Smokey.

I don't really think you can say greatest of all time unless you're going by genre and even then it would be hard to say

The greatest human voice of all time was Jussi Bjorling. No one else is even close.

rob halford

dude used to be my neighbor too. it was kinda of odd seeing him just walking down the street, always wore a hat and i doubt many others knew who he was

Etta James
Christina Aguilera
Alecia Beth Moore- Pink

Nat King Cole
Louis Armstrong
Freddie Mercury
Maynard James Keenan- Who I've gotta say; I've seen him a bunch of times either with Tool or his band A Perfect Circle and when he sings Live, it's as if you're listening to a digitally remastered CD. He IS that good.

Gotta go with this. She is definitely in the top 5.

I've seen a couple older shows with her singing alongside other so-called greats, and she put them to shame.

Second is a tie between Marvin Gaye and Andy Williams.

Luciano Pavarotti

I know it isn't the most popular music, but the talent is way off the charts. Here's what he is most known for, his rendition of Nessun Dorma:
