Vocalese: Eddie Jefferson
The first vocalese performer to get anywhere at all. His lyrics for "Moody's Mood For Love" became a hit for King Pleasure in 1952, and got the whole vocalese thing moving.

CD Review: The Jazz Singer
"Jefferson's vocal twists and turns will continue to please generations to come. They typify vocal jazz of the Fifties as much as the scat singing of Leo Watson--Jefferson's prime inspiration--typifies the heyday of 52nd Street."
