2. The way his voice does a cross between floating and soaring....
on 'You Send Me'.

That's some singing!

6. His voice was so good you almost feel bad singing along to it.
Just listen to his voice on "I'll Come Running Back to You". It's so smooth that it's hard to even try to synch with the words.

8. Until Al Green.
Al Green's performance of A Change is Gonna Come at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is transcendent.

9. Al's performance of "Let's Stay Together" @ the 1993 Apollo Hall of Fame Concert...
...when he hits the deck...an old Jackie Wilson stunt...on the line "keep on looooooooooovin' you whether..."

THAT's transcendent.

12. I think the smoothest voice was Mel Torme
Effortless mastery of his instrument.

13. I love "A Change Is Gonna Come". Sam Cooke is good--
but I like Aaron Neville's version better. IMO Neville sings like an angel.
