Yes! Want Me Like Water was an amazing deep house vocal.

This Reflex version of the classic is almost an acapella.

Hard to beat Timmy on a good day. 4 octave range with that killer vibrato. So much soul.

Called the Queen for a reason, this is my favourite vocal of hers. Not her biggest or broadest, but the feeling is all there.

Not a vocalist as such, but a master of cadence - Sadat X

As mentioned before, so many distinctive vocalists shine in reggae, but Winston Rodney is always top 5 for me. Bim Sherman has been represented elsewhere here, but he is also top 5.
Billy Ray Martin never sounded better than on on this collab with the Grid - just etheral magic.

Grew up hearing all this kind of stuff as a nipper. What a talent.
I love this first Verve record. I think it’s highly underrated.

I know it’s the most cliché thing ever but Norah Jones, to me, has just the most sublime singing voice. And I like her piano playing a lot too.

Right up there in the Brit vocalist stakes, her voice really works well with house stuff too.
