Taken from the album Made In Japan, the live version of Child In Time where he starts singing softly and then builds up to the screaming that goes up in octaves!Clap

To this day I haven´t heard anything like it, it was really progressive for 1972.

What are your thoughts on this...

well other than the said performance I really am blown away by Claire Torre on "The great gig in the sky" and also Jon Anderson on "Heart of The Sunrise"

(sorry but)

There is also quite an amazing vocal performance on the deftones song "Knife Party" during the Bridge

Since you asked for the greatest vocal performance I will have to tell you. The greatest vocal performance was by the amazing Tim Buckley on the album Greetings from L.A. The song is called Get On Top. Next Question.

You're kidding!!

David Coverdale is so much better than him (in the same band)...

By the way, Coverdale's still singing like he was 25 years old (I saw Whitesnake alive last year)...

 I can't say the same 'bout Gillan...

RONNIE JAMES DIO'S VOCALS ARE BETTER THAN ANY CONTENDER,ESPECIALLY ON HIS SABBATH AND RAINBOW MATERIAL.

SADLY HE WENT A BIT WEAK ON HIS SOLO WORK, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF HOLY DIVER.

Well i choose other. And i dont have a specific moment right now, but Peter Hammill singing...anywhere

Top choices: Arrow, Man- Erg, Plague..., After The Flood, A Louse Is Not A Home...this list could go on and on really.

As much as I am a fan of Peter Hammill, the award goes to Cathy Berberian, composer and singer extraordinaire and wife of Italian composer Luciano Berio, for her "Stripsody" performance of 1966.
