Favorite Vocalist?

Who's your favorite vocalist? Why? and a link to one of their songs would be nice in case it's someone not everyone knows

My favorite vocalist is Quorthon (RIP). He might not have had the highest range, like Rob Halford or King Diamond, but his voice was always so powerful and completed the atmosphere of Bathory's music (unfortunately I haven't listened to much of their Black Metal stuff, but I am in shock of how amazing and full their Viking Metal stuff sounds)

Freddy Mercury is my all time favorite but Ron Thal from Bumblefoot is climbing the ranks.

David Draiman From Disturbed has an awesome voice imo

also Johnny 3 Tears from Hollywood Undead

Edit-Must not forget Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin and Steve Perry from Journey

Isaac brock and Jónsi Birgisson

hayley williams from paramore, shes has incredible range.

I like Olivia-Newton John. She's just so wonderful in so many ways. Probably my favorite solo artist as well.

Also love George Michael. He's my favorite male artist.
