The best all time. Blue eyed and pale but he could wail, 3 octaves and a joy to the ear.

Showing our age perhaps but you can’t have a list of American male singers and not have Elvis Presley on it.
He suffers from the trash he sang from 1960 on but for pure ability, range and the fact he could sing the phone book and it could sound good he has to be on the list.
The rest is subjective.

Your list has a definite seventies arena rock slant, and no one could claim the “best” of anything musical came out of the seventies with a straight face. I’ll suggest you’ve got a bit of selection bias due to overexposure to artists of that genre and era, and underexposure to those that are not.
Only Frank Sinatra, Roy Orbison and Otis Redding plausibly belong on such a list, and I honestly wonder about Redding. Lo and behold, they’re the only ones with origins outside the apparent bias. Saccharine Paul McCartney is arguably not purely of that decade, but he is as a solo artist.
Then, there’s the lack of anyone post-seventies. I suppose it’s possible that sufficient time hasn’t passed for greatness to be bestowed upon those coming later.

You forgot Tom Jones, Bing Crosby, Smokey Robinson

Oops, I just realized you included Bing Crosby - sorry, my bad!

Bobby Caldwell and Boz Scaggs. If you’re under 40, you should look them up as they were # 1 artists from the mid ‘70s to the late ‘80s.
