From the list given my choice is Gerry Rafferty. Surely he isn't one of the best singers, but I just like his voice.

Singers that weren't included which come to mind are:

Glenn Danzig - OK, this "Evil Elvis" does operate in the metal field, but he has a very strong and warm voice. He reminds me somewhat of Jim Morrison.

Harry Nilsson

It seems a bit generous, but unfortunately the poll doesn't go into minus numbers Wink.

Well, I simply cannot vote.... I can't be forced to chose between Winwood, Hall and Stevie Wonder........ would be impossible. Stevie is the best singer here, no doubt, but personally I prefer Winwood. My vote!
The best you can is good enough...

For a great singer, I think I'd look to someone like Gary Puckett or Gene Pitney.
 
Stevie Wonder isn't a great singer? The irony of this post is lost on me...
 
Oh, and he couldn't play drums too. Or the harmonica. God knows what would have happened if he had ever had a day job as a piano tuner...

That's a bit aggressive isnt it?

One could easily make an argument for him being a multi-instrumentalist who also sings. In fact after his first hit, Fingertips, he was more famous for his harmonica playing rather than any vocal prowess as you hint at in your post.

In all sincerity, no I don't think Wonder is that great a singer. That's not to say I do not enjoy his music, I do. I believe his real talent though is as a songwriter and a musician.
 
I guess it's all about opinions though.

You didn't specified that before; then someone did not believe what you wrote..... Stevie Wonder isn't a great singer!! Please!!........ Voice's register, pitch and abilities in general aren't about opinions....... And Stevie, from any point of view, is an awesome singer, one of the best in non-prog music IMO.

I had to go with the Stingmeister.  When he's not making copies, he's got a great voice. 
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Indeed. You may not like his voice or style, but that's hardly relevant - I can't think of many singers that can use their voice in such a varied & colorful way. His vocal abilities are well beyond any prog singer, imo. Just listen to Living for the City!

Back on topic, Stevie Wonder it is.

Stevie Wonder since he is not only one of greatest singers of all times, but also great musician and composer.
