Right here!!

Female?

Whitney Houston......then MAYBE only Prime Mariah Carey could even come close.

But it's Whitney alllll day long.

Male?

Luther Vandeross. You just can't really do anything against him. Close second for me.....Johnny Gill.


Honorable mention:

Female.... Sade. Her singing was just so s3xy and seductive. Like silk sheets on a breezy summer night in the Caribbean.

Male...... Maxwell. I've had too many women in the last 25 years tell me his mtv unplugged will never be topped. I can't really argue with them.
