Favorite Female vocalists ?

today | Me

[Zeneta]

While I have a handful or more favorites, I am curious who my fellow freepers elevate to the top of their list?

My list starts with;

Annie Lennox

Kate Bush

Tracey Thorn (Everything but the Girl)

And oddly enough

Cindi Lauper

There's soo many more.

Dolly Parton is right up there.

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

Patsy Cline
Yma Sumac

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Rita Coolidge

Emmylou Harris

[CaptainK]

Judy’s not getting enough love on this board.

Funnily enough, I just went on Youtube and looked up a Kenny Loggin song for the first time in many years, and his voice isn’t nearly as girly as I remember. I just realized that my mental impression of Loggins’s voice was created by the exaggerated falsetto version of “Danger Zone” my dad used to do in his wild and crazy Naval Aviation days.

Mama Cass is my vote also.

What a drop dead gorgeous woman she was - and what a voice. I wish we could go back to those days when we all loved those great black singers and nobody was fixated on race 24/7. A lost world. Loved the costumes too, lol!

In no particular order:

Deborah Harry
Pat Benatar
Ann Wilson
Kate Bush
Belinda Carlisle
Agnetha Fältskog
Natalie Merchant
Delores O’Riordon

Anybody remember Marilyn McCoo from the 5th Dimension? A soaring voice.

Great voice! Lots of hits.

[dp0622]

sorry lol. I guess to each his own.

Michelle wasn’t bad either and she sure looked a lot better. I have an old Mamas and Papas CD somewhere and there is one in which Michelle does the lead and it sounds great.

[HandyDandy]

Ditto

[dp0622]

Amen to that.
