I am constantly amazed at Sammy Hagar's singing; his voice may not seem that great but it's how he uses it like an instrument. Ann Wilson of Heart. Her sister could be a one-woman act and kick ass, too. Linda Ronstat did pop and then opera. Crossover says something. Kenny Loggins. Any one of the Eagles, though Don Henley is a great talent. Ozzy Osbourne. The 5th Beatle. Sinatra and the rat pack guys. Sinatra's jazz was downright amazing.</div> My pops personally likes Sinatra, but prefers Nat King Cole. I heard Obama likes Cole too.

He was nearly as big as any of the Beatles as an individual (popularity) and around at the same time. I don't think he ever appeared on a Beatles record or jammed with them. <div><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6paD9SuOUVc&"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6paD9SuOUVc&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350" /></embed></object></div>
Stu Sutcliffe is generally thought of as the 5th Beatle....and Pete Best would be the lost Beatle....
Or Billie Preston. Or George Martin. There's several who might be called "5th Beatle." If you consider how and why Ringo was picked to play drums, it fits for Ozzy. Ringo always was a pretty sucky drummer, but he was a "Beatle" or one of them.
I'd generally consider George Martin the fifth Beatle, just based on his influence. A lot of their work wouldn't be half as brilliant as it is if it weren't for his production work. His orchestral arrangements were what made their sound.
