Any List that doesn't include "Ave Maria" is woefully incomplete *. Here is a soul and a "straight" version:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwyBewTE8fA << Instantly recognizable voice
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8aeUE89cT8 << Tough choice: his or Andrea Bocelli's
And then there's Jerry Butler's "For Your Precious Love":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8aeUE89cT8 and 50 years later, he hadn't lost a step:

Righteous Brothers--"Unchained Melody":

Ben E. King--"Stand By Me":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTd2ylacYNU << John Lennon just

I am a South African living in Ireland and there are two types of music I find truly irritating - South African & Irish traditional music. Both of them bore me to tears. Whenever it comes on the radio I just turn it off. Just gives me a headache.
