Who are the alltime greatest white soul singers?

Boy George
the guy from Simply Red
Eric Burdon?

 

Joe Cocker

 

Dusty Springfield?

 

Steve Winwood, especially in his Spencer Davis Group days.

 

Tom friggin' Jones!

 

Steve Winwood,Paul Weller or Steve Marriott.

 

Terry Kath
The lead singer of the O'Kaysions (Donnie Weaver)

 

Frankie Miller

 

He probably wouldn't qualify but to me it's Greg Allman. A southern rock, soul singer if you might.

 

Boz Scaggs
Van Morrison
Daryl Hall / John Oats

 

Righteous Brothers

 

If the soulfulness of the vocals are what we are looking for

Terry Reid
Rod the Mod
Paul Rodgers

...and Freddie Mercury, judging from "Somebody to Love" alone.

And yes, Simpy has a great voice for soul. Shame about the music.

 

yup

 

Winwood and Marriott, the two Steves

 

I think Joan Osborne would make the list.

 

John Lennon

 

Felix Cavaliere would be up there.

 

Or Paul McCartney of course

 

Oh, and Elvis Presley.

 

Bee Gees/Barry Gibb

 

Mick Jagger can get a funky thang going!

"But I sure loved the way she laughed and took my money!"

 

surely this guy

 

Roger Chapman?

 

Okay, Dr. John. The greatest white swamp soul singer ever
