What vocalist sends chills up your spine?
Reverend Al Green- How can you mend a broken heart? I'm listening to it right now for the 4th time in a row. Feels like a spiritual experience.
Louis Armstrong - What a Wonderful World Diana Ross- Ain't no mountain high enough George Harrison- My Sweet Lord These are off the top of my head. It'd be great to hear other opinions.. |

Damien Rice-A little man crush
Sarah McLachlan-Every Single Time Eva Cassidy-More so than even Sarah Sometimes when my wife and I sing together, not being cocky, but I guess after you work at for so long it's nice when it flows so well, Rafe

Last night I was re-watching A Tribute to Joni Mitchell on the VHS, lots of great performances, but I was really taken by one in particular, especially the subtle use of changes in timbre in her vocals - Diana Krall. She did this fantastic version of Joni's 'Case of You'. I know her music a bit, but I'm going to have to check her out a lot more I think.
Other notables that come to mind right away: Gillian Welch, Casandra Wilson, Betty Carter, Baba Maal Edit: Oh, and how could I forget one of my favorite singers of all - the amazing Kathy Jordan of Dervish. Yeah!!!

I'll second Allison Kraus, and also say Sarah Watkins, the girl in Nickel Creek.

Bono from U2... Wasn't much of a u2 fan, but after seeing their elevation tour DVD, I became totally hooked. I've never heard someone emote songs so well and with such emotion. I think their albums generally miss a lot of how talented that guy is... IMHO

Kelly Willis. I picked her CD for a couple bucks when a music store was going out of business. Up until that point, I had never heard of her. When I heard her voice for the first time, my body went numb. Wow.

Some more
A lot of my favorites have been named already. I'll add Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Van Morrison, and Aretha Franklin. Taking the question literally, Ralph Stanley's "O Death" makes a chill run up my spine.
