"Father and Son" by Cat Stevens. I love the sense of frustration in some of the son's part in the original. Here he is singing the song many years later as Yusum Islam. Nice to have performed it with his original collaborator.

Cat Stevens has a great voice, full of character and very emotional when he lets rip.

Kate Bush on Peter Gabriel's "Don't Give Up." Listen to it on headphones and it's like Kate is breathing the words directly into your brain. A different take on that song, Paul, but for me equally as good. Máire Brennan - Dont Give Up

I'm going to have to say this one...
The "bleakness" in Robert Wyatt's vocal just completely nails this song.

How about "Hope there's someone" by Antony and the Johnsons?

I always like the way Nick Cave's and Kylie's voice go together on "Where the Wild Roses Grow".

Nick Cave and Kylie pull off a weird combination well

I am not usually a vocal person but sometimes enjoy a good song. For starters Strange Fruit Only Billy could really pull this off, you can hear the pain in her voice.
Next up is a bit of Blues So many to choose from I really enjoy someone who can do the Blues justice. I decided to go for Little Milton Blind Man a towering vocal performance
Then just for fun Ian Gillian doing the Blues with Deep Purple I was tempted to go for Child in Time

The Lone Bellow You have to see this band perform to appreciate how vocals can be done!

I love a bittersweet ballad, me.
Del Amitri - Driving with the Brakes On
Justin Currie - If I Ever Loved You Watch him reduce Chris Difford to tears...

Cat Power - Lived in Bars Great use of the mic and a cracking 'bustin' out' moment for the band, part way through where the song changes gear.
Joe Jackson - A Slow Song From the live album. In the sleeve notes there is a description of him watching a girl in the audience as he builds up the tension in the performance. As the climax arrives (6'40" into the track), she bursts into tears.

Máire Brennan - Cé Leis Enya's sister who in my opinion has a much better voice. Gorgeous.

I love a bit of Jeff Buckley The first time I heard him sing was Lover you should've come over it did send shivers down my spine.
Joan Beaz Diamonds and Rust can sometimes send shivers down my spine
Tina Turner knows how to belt out a tune River Deep Mountain High certainly impacts for me
Last in this section the small yet mighty Ronnie James Dio I know Tony like me is a big fan One of my all time favourite rock vocalist

Máire Brennan - Cé Leis Enya's sister who in my opinion has a much better voice. Gorgeous. Don't forget that Máire is a founder-member of Clannad, and Enya pulled a 2-year stint in the band (between 1980 and 1982) too.
