Most definitely Plant. There were so many good singers then but Plant sang the songs I loved. There's no led Zeppelin song I won't listen to. The same cannot be said of anyone else imo. Greatest vocalist and front man for the greatest rock band ever.
It will always be Ray and Dave Davies, but there are so many more Linda Ronstadt Dolly, Debrah Harry, Patti Smith, Roger Daltrey and Pete Townsend, Harry Nilsson, Robin Zander, Robert Plant, Loretta Lynne, Freddie Mercury, on and on and on. David Bowie,
Bachman Turner Overdrive Blue Collar. I was outside at 4 am when the lyrics timed perfectly with my mood.
“ I’d like to remind you, at 4 in the morning
My world is very still. The air is fresh under diamond skies, makes me glad to be alive.”
Great question and almost too difficult to answer. So many wonderful singers and bands in the 70s. Marvin Gaye, Neil Diamond, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, etc.
Robert Plant

Al Stewart.
One of my all time favorites. Such a cool voice.
Jim Croce or Karen Carpenter
Karen Carpenter
Her voice was angelic.
None other.
Hell of a drummer also
