I'm not really sure but one for sure would be Peter Gabriel. Hell, the whole classic Genesis line-up would be a blast. I realize this is more than 3, oh well.
I was also more tempted to do the same but with:
Napoleon Bonaparte
Mahomet (to put a bullet through his face)
Carolus Magnus
... and closer to us: Sophie Marceau (to see if I can get into her)
on a musical front:
Coltrane, Tyner McCoy and Le Grand Jacques
Pizarro was on a bigger scale: from Venezuela to Peru, passing through Colombia and Ecuador.
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
As a longtime viewer of British TV like Monty Python, the original Office, Fawlty Towers, Dr. Who, et cetera, et cetera, I'm quite familiar with actual English. Plus, anyone who can read and comprehend the King James version of The Bible, or the works of Shakespeare should be able to converse with Henry VIII.

Reading something in a given dialect, and understanding someone speaking authentically in said dialect aren't necessarily the same thing. When I was in high school, one of the English teachers recited a portion of The Canterbury Tales, as it would have been spoken at the time it was written, and my recollection was it was very different from the way we speak the words today.
Mind you, Chaucer lived about a hundred years before Henry VIII, and a couple hundred years before Shakespeare and the arrival of the King James version of the Bible, so maybe that makes a difference.
I find it hilarious that the British like to make fun of Americans for "mangling" their language, and yet, they do the exact same thing. You ever see the original UK version of Shameless?! You can't understand a damn word anyone says, because of the heavy accent.
So many choices but, after reading this thread, here are my off-the-top-of-my-head picks:
Syd Barrett
William Shakespeare
Gandhi

Saul of Tarsus
Wendy Williams
Nostradamus
OK since we jettisoned the musical requirement how 'bout:
Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha)
Julius Ceasar
Issac Newton
I would like to know what Caligula thinks of cookie monster vocals.
