Unfortunately my favourite singer died in seventies of passed century. He sings so emotionally with great and rich voice, glorifying the power of love and faith.
I think that even a flight timetable, as a lyrics, performed by Donny Hathaway would not be boring.
The second is Jacques Brel, especially performing "L'homme de la Mancha" (Man of La Mancha) and songs "Ne me quitte pas", "L'Amsterdam".

Who are these guy??? Can I google them???
You can google anything you can type, but if you get any hits
is another question.
Googling all of the names I listed should give you
enough links to keep you busy reading for next few months,
atl least, although some of them will probably only be
mentioned in conecction with a few recordings. Beware however,
they are all opera singers, or were, since most of them are no
longer alive.
Opera: Angela Gheorghiu, Natalie Dessay, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Inva Mula, Bryn Terfel ,......
Rock: Lee Aaron, Bobby Kimball (Toto), Joyce Kennedy,......
Soul: Aretha Franklin, Thelma Houston, .....
Folk: Kari Bremnes, Mari Boine, .....
World Music: Khadja Nin, Angelique Kidjo, .....
Jazz: Lyambiko, Ella,.....

Unfortunately not ! She has the role of "Micaela". The part of Carmen is sung by Angela Gheorghiu (the lady on the cover). Angela's got some bad reviews for this one because people prefer mezzo sopranos for this role. Because Inva Mula is also a soprano like Angela Gheorghiu she might possibly refrain from ever recording this role.
