He is most definately one of the greatest. On my list, he's Top10, and maybe even Top5.
... I see the posts on this thread, and I can't help but notice the narrow musical taste - a lot of - people here seems to have. It's a little sad, because there's A LOT of great music to be heard outside of rap/hiphop.
I agree with you two. Definitively, he WAS an artist in all senses. He snags, he acted, he played piano.. he was a fucking genius!!!
There are some many artist that have a INCREDIBLE voice. I read all posts (or most of them) and I think some guys have confused voice with talent. Elvis Presley hadn't voice. John Lennon??? O.o They had lot of talent, they were very creative... but voice??? I don't think so.
About girls, I would say
Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, Anastasia, W. Houston, Maria Carey, Monica Naranjo, ROCIO JURADO (this last one was soo marvellous- she dies by a cancer- I think she had one of the best voice spanish artists have ever had)
And about boys... well, Some of my favorites are already said, so I'm going to name to
KLAUS MEINER (Scorpions' vocalist) Meinar has been recognized as a well-noted guy because of his unique tenor voice and polished delivery which ranges from high notes to soft ballads. (said it by Wikipedia :P)
