Roger Daltrey. The stutter in 'My Generation' is put on but he said in an interview that both he and Pete Townshend stutter.

I don't doubt Daltrey said it, but I've seen several Townshend interviews and he seems like the most un-stuttering person ever. I don't even remember hearing any vocalized pauses like "um" and "uh."

One of the Wolfgramm sisters (maybe both) who does the predominant vocal on The Jets' "Crush on You" has an adorable lisp.
A.C. Newman has one too, and once I noticed it, all those New Pornographers songs seem sweeter.

Wow, can't believe no one has yet mentioned Scatman John, who even had a Top 10 hit about his stuttering.

Everybody stutters one way or the otherSo check out my message to youAs a matter of fact, don't let nothin' hold you backIf the Scatman can do it, so can you
Everybody's sayin' that the Scatman stuttersBut doesn't ever stutter when he singsBut what you don't know I'm gonna tell you right nowThat the stutter and the scat is the same thing to you
I've never had a speech impediment, but I always find this super inspiring, brings a tear to my eye.

Claudine Longet had a speech impediment which, like everything she did apart from shooting her boyfriend, was very endearing. It's particularly notable on her cover of Bwoomstick Cowboy.

Surprised no-one's mentioned Richie Havens.

On Barry Gibb's solo album In the Now, he not only seems to have problems with vocal projection and resonance, it sounds like he has trouble pronouncing the lyrics. His whole vocal style had changed. Had he had a lot of health issues in the 15 years since the last Bee Gees album?

The guy in the Romantics has a slight lisp. Not Jimmy Marinos, but the guy who sings "Talking In Your Sleep."
