Who would you pick? I think one would be too hard so let's say up to five. Any era, any genre. Get those brain cells whirling!

I think he's overrated, must admit. Elvis has got to be on my list for his sheer energy and showmanship as well as his voice.
Also a lady with a really vast and powerful vocal range like Annie Lennox (ex -Eurythmics). She's incredibly versatile as well as being a thoroughly nice person. You Have Placed A Chill in my Heart is one of the few songs I can listen to that really moves me. And she's Scottish. Annie can sing a ballad one minute and a foot stomper the next without missing a beat and both will be perfection.

And the fabulous Nat King Cole has the most beautifully smooth voice I've ever heard.

       Naming the 5 greatest singers of all time is of course a difficult task, but certain voices come to mind.  If we are talking purely technical ability, Luciano Pavarotti qualifies. And for a female, perhaps Joan Sutherland.  Now if we focus mainly on popular acclaim, Barbra Streisand might be considered.  Streisand had absolute pitch, which allowed her to identify any tone by ear and recreate from memory any pitch she desired.  This gave her a huge advantage over most of her competition.  Whitney Houston, another diva, should also be added to the five.  When she first came out, few female pop singers could emulate her control of the chest voice.  The last singer, Sarah Vaughn, couldn't sing a wrong note if she tried.  All the other greats not mentioned, such as Celine Dion, Frank Sinatra, and Mariah Carey, quite often lose control of pitch, even if only for a moment.  But Sarah Vaughn never sang off pitch, or at least not in her recordings. 
      Music is entirely generated by opinions, but these singers seemed to carry most of the general public's opinions in their favor.
