Best Male R & B Singers
The Top Ten Best Male R & B Singers
Luther Ronzoni Vandross Jr. was an American singer, songwriter and record producer. Throughout his career, Vandross was an in-demand background vocalist for several different artists. This is truly comical... Vocal talent exceeds all of the artist listed 1 to 19! These polls are usually based upon popularity and have little to do with sheer vocals, lyrics, and meaning behind the words that create the songs. I can extend credit to the other artist for arriving at success in the chosen field, but none of them can hold a candle to "The Voice"!
People that were not around to hear this guy sing, are too young and don't know how to vote!
Usher is good, but Luther is the master of this genre! - DaWyteNight
The greatest singer of all time!

Michael Jackson is the King of Pop period. R Kelly is the King of RnB. This generation as of now should go to Chris Brown. End of Discussion
The greatest of all time the king of POP
Seriously? Usher and Chris Brown? I'm kinda ok with luther vandross or Marvin Gaye being in front of him but seriously he inspired more than half the people on this list
Usher Terry Raymond IV is an American singer, songwriter, dancer, and actor. Born in Dallas, but raised in Chattanooga, Tennessee was where he lived until moving to Atlanta, Georgia at the age of 12 where his mother put him in local singing competitions all over the city. usher is the best. not only his singing but also his dancing. his steps are awesome n specially his grammy-11 performance, it was a ripper, too good.
@the one who said Raheem and Maxwell suck, go clean out your ears! - NicoleJohnnyLutherBrianFan
King because nobody gets closer to his vocal prowess and giving different emotions to songs how it's supposed to be
The only thing that bothers me about him is what he did to Green Day in 2012
Marvin Gaye was an American singer, songwriter, and musician, and is regarded as one of the greatest singers of all time. Understand this, there is NO ONE who sings better than Marvin Gaye other than Aretha Franklin.
Should be no lower than two, however, he had more of the complete package so you can make the argument for the number one position.
How are taio cruise the dance artist, Jason derulo the pop artist, trey songz the r&b artist who only sings about sex, and R Kelly who is good but not on the same level as Marvin higher than Marvin Gaye! - DaWyteNight
What has the world come to when The Man that all of these people look up to is not even in the Top 5. Ridiculous.

He is definitely #1 on my list...all hands down! I'll vote for him over and over again. I have been following this man since "Vibe" in 1992 and will continue to follow him>>>
I like his album "Double Up" - he has good designs.
Can't argue with two decades of success
No one else on this list has the extensive catalog that Mr. kelly has
HIT AFTER HIT
Joe is the best r&b singer of the 90's! He's better than Usher, R Kelly and all of them. Usher and Kellz are good, but Joe is just on another level, one of the few singers who actually knows what r&b is all about and can actually sing his face off! - DaWyteNight
