Einar Solberg, lead singer of Leprous, has a unique voice. It can sound almost fragile at lower registers, very expressive.... And has incredible range.

Billie Elish has an amazing voice
Oliver Wickham
jacqui McShee
Tracy Nelson, Dorothy Morrison, Beth Hart, Hank Williams, Johny Cash, Linda Perry to name a few of my favorites.
There are SO many great offerings here, but Elizabeth Fraser (Cocteau Twins), I think, blows them all away. https://piped.video/results?search_query=cocteau+twins
I sing in an amateur choir led by a professional singer, and his voice is the purest, warmest, cleanest sound you can imagine. I melt every time he sings a solo or demonstrates part of a song to us.
Dan Avidan Everything he sings turns into pure gold wrapped in silk
Maggie Rose
George Corpsegrinder Fisher
Wayne Cochran, Soul Brother Number Two (according to James Brown):
Kenton Chen singing I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt. Haven't heard of the song before hearing his version. Now that's my original version of the song.
Mimi Parker was an absolutely amazing singer. If anyone reading gets a chance, "Holy Ghost" by Low will show you what I mean.
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.

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.
