Freddy Mercury (gifted beyond belief), Whitney Houston (she elevated the bland pop music she sang to another level) and David Bowie (the man could sing any style brilliantly).

David the man who became a star.
I don't have an all-time best, but would short-list the following:
Nina Simone
Barb Jungr
Eva Cassidy
Kate Bush
Linda Perry (you try singing What's Up)
Amy Winehouse
Robyn Adele Anderson
Haley Reinhart
Morgan James
(Yes, a big fan of Postmodern Jukebox)

Oh gosh how could I have forgotten about him? lol
It really depends upon the style of music you prefer. My votes go for Ella Fitzgerald and Eva Cassidy.

Male:. Michael Crawford. His range is phenomenal.
Female: Linda Ronstadt. It's just beautiful to listen to.

Maybe someone will know what I'm thinking here. I recall seeing a female singer being interviewed and asked what other female singers she respected, and her answer was something like...
"There are only two 'singers', the late Patsy Cline and Linda Ronstadt, the rest of us are just faking it."
...or something along those lines.
My two cents worth.
Julie Covington. She's the one who did the definitive Don't Cry For Me Argentina. And I loved her as Beth in Jeff Wayne's musical version of The War of the Worlds.
Karen Carpenter. Too tragic a story.
Billie Holiday. Another tragic story and I wish there were better recordings of her voice.

Karen Carpenter's isolated vocal tracks are really amazing... no wonder so many of their songs became hits.
Karen Carpenter's voice had such a wonderful warm tone.
Can we suggest men too? Roy Orbison. I do love me some Whitney but Ann Wilson from heart should be considered!

I don't know about 'of all time' but my latest fav is Jake Smith from White Buffalo.
Wait for it.

For me, it is hands down, eva cassidy. she didn't live long enough to become very well known, but for what she did while alive is wonderous. she also played guitar. listen and you will hear the voice of something that makes the hairs on my arms get tingly .... she was a beautiful person:

I agree 100%
Roy Orbison...had a truly operatic voice...clear articulation and great taste. BUT--now, there's Andrea Bocceli and Josh Groban. Hmmmm
