Otis Redding FTMFW.
Although I'm a fan of Sam Cooke as well.

As singers?
Because if it overall as an artist James Brown is by far #1 and it's not even close

No just as soul/r & b singers
And have you ever seen Jackie Wilson perform?
There's a reason why they called him "Mr. Excitement"
Brown would definitely be #1, but Wilson was a bad dude

Can I avoid choosing and say Al Green? If not, I prefer Sam when I want pepping up, and Otis when I'm feeling introspective.

Dad always listened to Otis when I grew up. So it will always be Otis.
Both are badass.
Amazing that Redding died at 26? He always sounded 40 and looked 35 plus.

The big O, Otis Redding

Otis is my favorite singer of all time. Loved his phrasing and emotion.

I went to a Q&A with D. A. Pennebaker, who directed Monterey Pop, and he said that Otis' performance was one of the most moving things he'd ever witnessed.
Bill Graham said something similar. Here is his quote: “By far, Otis Redding was the single most extraordinary talent I had ever seen. There was no comparison. Then or now…That was the biggest gig I ever put on in my entire life.”

Sam Cooke by a hair
It doesn't get any better than his Live at the Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke for me...
And surprised there is not more love Night Beat by him...listen to that on a regular basis...
Starts out with some slow powerful music and ends up rocking at the end.
