Plenty of choices with Van Morrison.

Foreigner’s “I wanna know what love is” and “Urgent”. Lou Graham had a great voice.

Well, I scrolled through the replies and a couple were on to something with Heart. Not a fanboy here but in regards to Vocal Performances the ABSOLUTE MOST MOVING performance I’ve ever seen was Heart covering Stairway to Heaven (@ Britain’s equivalence to Kennedy Center?) and drop dead killing it IN THE PRESENCE OF REMAINING MEMBERS OF LED ZEPPELIN !!! Robert Plant could hardly keep himself composed! Tears in their eyes. It was the best performance of any song, anywhere, I’ve ever heard...

my favorite voice of the rock genre is Jack Bruce ...

[Vince Ferrer]

This isn't classic or rock, but if anyone is interested in a good current singer, Avi Kaplan is very talented. Almost all of his work is very high quality.
