Tatsuro Yamashita was pretty impressive for several reasons: great singer/songwriter (he has some really solid range) and producer, S tier in singing English phonetically, and he's good in Japanese, too.

If I had to choose one it would be Paolo Nutini but choosing is losing.
Jonny Craig man, my absolute favourite singer. I feel like he's great in early DGD but he peaks in Emarosa, specifically on the album Relativity.
Dude's personal life is a mess but you can't deny his amazing talent. It's good to see he's back with a new album. Hopefully he stays clean and healthy.
Yeah, I still remember the whole selling shit online and stealing people's money just to feed his habits fiasco and all.
Not exactly what you're asking for, but there's this thing called "shape note singing."
There's a long story of why it exists, but people still do it, and even though it has roots in religion, and the songs are religious, the groups you find today never perform in a religious capacity.
Get a buddy and go to one of the meetings. Everybody sits in chairs, in a circle and everybody sings. No instruments, just voices.
It's a beautiful, eerie sound which always falls flat in recordings.
I had never heard of shape note singing before, but after reading the Wikipedia article, it seems more like it's a system of writing music for easy readability by singers rather than a style of singing. Are you just referring to some kind of gospel tradition?
