ok, great male singers. here's mine

justin townes earle has something i aspire to- u can hear the look on his face in his voice.
good example-

my teach thought this was a crazy idea, til i made him watch this.
in a million yrs i couldn’t b the guitar player he is. and tho i’m a pretty good writer, i’d never touch him as a song writer.
gonna try to b that good a singer tho.

So much great talent out there:
Smoky R.
Bowie ( his cover of Wild is the Wind made me break down and cry on my hike last week)
Brian Ferry
Too many to pick one or even fifty.
