Holy CRAP! Roy Orbison...A BIG 10-4!
And so fitting that he got it back teamed with a number of OTHER 'magic
voices' in the Traveling Wilburys!
Look here.. and note the hits... MANY artists who had CLEAR distinct
voices.

Other magic voices:
Dee Clark {It must be Raindrops.. falling from my eyes}
Percy Sledge
Gene Pitney
Clyde Mcphatter
Jackie Wilson
But one who will probably never qualify is
Johnny Mathis, though his voice was great... his personna and product was
'just too.. too...
Rhinestones, Sequins and Feather Boas.. yeah.. that's it!
