I'm not in the least able to objectively name the
single
best singer but I gotta agree with Newguy regarding Colin Blunstone. Very beautiful unique voice with jazzy intonations.
My 3 examples would be "This Will Be Our Year" (fave cut off "Odessey & Oracle"), "World of Glass" (under the alias "Neil McArthur"), "Twelve Twenty Nine" (ditto):

I'll throw in Brian Wilson, Al Jardine, Carl Wilson, Glen Campbell, Blondie Chaplin, Terry Adams, Al Anderson, Joey Spampinato, Frank Gadler (esp. on
"Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive"
), Karen Carpenter, Elton John, Mick Jagger, Manfred Mann, Connie Smith, Roger Waters, Kirsty MacColl, Eric Burdon, Ray Davies, Peter Daltrey, Zooey Deschanel... The list goes on.

I like your pick of Roger Waters
His voice doesn't really fit the traditional view of a great singer but the way he uses it is amazing, doing things not many other singers could really pull off. His vocals on The Wall are so pained and emotive!

My favorite singers would come down to Carl Wilson, Colin Bluntstone and Levon Helm of the Band. Carl takes it for me because of his versatility...I have never heard a bad vocal performance by him. Shitty songs like Problem Child are made so much better by just his singing on it.
Listen to Levon here:

The guy could really put his heart into a song.
edit: another good Levon vocal

"Best" is a trickier term than "favorite," implying technical proficiency. So that's unfortunate, especially in the pop world, where character counts for so much. In fact, most of my favorite singers aren't technically all that impressive. Yes, on one hand I'd offer 1970s Freddie Mercury, 1960s Brian and Carl Wilson, 1960s and 70s Stevie Wonder, Prince, etc., but on the other I'd say Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Lou Reed, David Ivar Herman Dune, John Darnielle, and other technically unimpressive singers. So, my answer is ... I give no answer. Sorry (not actually sorry) for wasting your time. Enjoy your day.

...the many moods of... the captain.
I have 3 singers. No examples.
Brian Wilson
Carl Wilson
Laura Nyro
They have it all. Technical proficiency, more soul than imaginable, and are my favorites.

I 1st noticed him on "Take Up Thy Stethoscope and Walk", liked the voice straight off. Since then, Roger is my favorite Floyd; "The Wall", both music & clips, is darkly beautiful.
Re Levon Helm, I agree that he has the best voice in the Band, but overall, they're just not my cup of tea (lack of upbeat songs).
