I forgot to mention Mike Patton.

I really, really, REALLY like his vocals on "California".

Bobby McFerrin! His performance at Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival this year was one of the most incredible things I've ever seen.

Other than that, Paul Simon, Freddie Mercury, Jay Kay, basically anything that's good

Bobby McFerrin, Peter Gabriel, and Mike Patton are among those who are primarily vocalists whose albums I enjoy.
