Posted on 06/10/2017 7:03:58 PM PDT by MNDude

A few weeks ago we had a thread with a subject of who the greatest male vocalist ever were. There were many great comments on that thread. So for tonight, I am asking who do you think are the three greatest female vocalists ever?

Alison Krausse also did an album with Robert Plant from Led Zepplin. Here is one track...Please Read the Letter:

So she is not just country western. More singer/songwriter.

“Agnetha and Frida from ABBA.”

I’m glad that you mentioned them. Both had incredible voices.

"138 replies and not one vote for Yoko Ono. I am shocked and chagrined, mortified and stupefied...."

With all those diverse negative feelings you are expressing there, you sound a little down, like Jim Comey, and all his feelings, so I thought I'd post something to ease your suffering just a bit, and lift your spirits, (with a few extras). Here goes...



Youtube "Music" Video
- Yoko Ono



"It's Real One More Time"
- Buffy Sainte Marie



"I Feel Pretty"
- Phyllis Diller


"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction"
- Phyllis Diller



And, for honorable mention, here goes 3½...


"This Land Is Your Land"
- Nancy Pelosi

Impossible to answer.

Cher, Grace, Patsy, Janice, and dozens of others.

Try to imagine who was most favored under King David, 3000 years ago, or under the Caesars of Rome.

How chauvanistic it honestly is to presume that Billie Holiday might be missed here.

A million others not included.

I always thought that Grace had the most unique voice until I heard Signe on the “Taking Off” album.

I love, love, love Donna Summer’s version of “Mcarthur Park.” Even better than Richard Harris’s version & I love his. So many people hate that song, but I just love it!

...

A song that’s been covered so often can’t be all bad.

Can’t believe it took more than 200 posts before someone mentioned Yma. When it comes to range, no other holds a candle.

182 posts and no mention of Barbara Streisand.

Does that surprise you?

Not really but I thought there would be more old farts like me on this thread.
