Who are the alltime greatest white soul singers?

Can't say who's greatest, but in last decade I enjoy very much Paolo Nutini.

 

Ozzy Osbourne back in the day

 

David Gedge - Yes! The voice of anguish. He sings like he means every word.

 

Joe Cocker

 

Todd Rundgren > The Last Ride and so many more...

 

My vote goes to the heretofore unmentioned George Jones.

 

One of my favorites Phil Alvin

 

Joe Cocker, Daryl Hall, Bill Medley, Delbert McClinton

 

Not mentioned already? Bobby Charles

 

Good call. Try to top this one:

 

Alex Chilton did a hell of a job with The Box Tops...

 

This guy: Len Barry
His big hit was "1-2-3", but these are equally good:

NS KTF 191 Len Barry It's A Crying Shame

 

I don't know much about him but Len Barry sounds great on 1-2-3.

 

Beaten to the punch! . I'll have to listen to more by him.

 

Example of contemporary dynamite blue-eyed soul, St. Paul & The Broken Bones. I was actually shocked to find out this is a white guy singing.

 

Tom Jones When people heard his records they thought he was black. The record company obliged by keeping his pictures off the record covers.

• Terry Kath (Chicago).
• Peter Hoorelbeke (Rare Earth).
• David Clayton Thomas (BS&T).

Paul McCartney
"Don't Let Me Down"????????

 

Michael McDonald, Robert Palmer and Frankie Miller, three of the best I've ever heard!

 

Another endorsement for Felix:

 

Bowie

 

Terry Reid

 

Daryl Hall.

 

Yep.
Van Morrison
and
Amy Winehouse.
