I was listening to early solo Clyde McPhatter today. Does he count? And I'd add some Gene Pitney.

Jackie Wilson.

Jackie Wilson was not an adequate replacement for Clyde McPhatter in Billy Ward And The Dominoes. It's the real over-emotional sobbing and crying stuff that I love from Clyde - The Bells is the greatest example of this, and one of my all-time favourite records.

Agree with plenty of the above. Sinatra obviously.

Also, Iggy's got a good croon on him when he wants to (Turn Blue, Endless Sea).
