New answer: The highest note (to my knowledge) ever sung was high G#5 in the closing notes of Lady Grinning Soul (Aladdin Sane album, 1973).
And the lowest is a C2 in the opening line of Sweet Thing (Diamond Dogs album, 1974).
For the
skeptics who have accused Bowie of vocal tinkering in the studio, there is a YouTube video of a live performance from the era, here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1j9sD3mHJE where he sings the low C quite clearly, and live.

What was the vocal range of Jeff buckley?
Jeff Buckley had an ethereal voice & an incredible range. He was a a light lyric tenor capable of extending his range upward through use of falsetto. (A tenor's range in the bass clef spans middle C to high F) Jeff's actual range was four octaves.
What is Aaliyah's vocal range?
Comprehensively through her career, she has demonstrated a 5-octave range. Consistently, in songs, her range is an incredible 4.5 octaves, from D3 (almost an octave below middle C) to G7 (over 3.5 octaves above). The lowest note in song is a D3 (claimed as C#3 in the video); the highest note is G7 (claimed as G#7 in the video), in a live performance of "Emotions". She may be able to hit notes outside this range (e.g. down to G#2), but not consistently or strongly, which makes them unusable in songs. Keep in mind that a typical choral singer is expected to sing over about a 2-octave range and even a world-class operatic soprano need only hit notes in the 3-octave range G3-G6 (although most can sing several notes lower). G6 is the very highest note ever seen in classical music, and only very rarely (Mozart's concert aria "Popoli di Tessaglia" and a couple of other rare places). And Mariah can -- and routinely does -- sing a full octave above this!
