[dfwgator]

Surprised no one has mentioned Eva Cassidy yet.

[csmusaret]

Emmy Lou Harris, Patsy Cline and Mirielle Matthieu (sp?).

I never liked Annie Lennox...UNTIL she did that hauntingly sad yet beautiful “Into the West” for “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King”. She won an Oscar for that one, and well-deserved it was.

[Married with Children]

Forget this. Lets take it in a new direction and name the best looking female singers (with pictures of course)

[Joe 6-pack]

"I don’t know Lisa Gerrard. Good, I’m going to have to go listen to her now."

You can start with these two :-)

Gortoz A Ran - J'attends

Now We Are Free

[ETL]

Here’s a better audio version of the Whitney tune I posted earlier:

Google is my friend. Answered my own question.

[Hoodat]

Lisa Fischer

[null and void]

Yes. Listen to Dream a Little Dream of Me. Voice like liquid gold.

[Wierzbowski]

Sandy Denny!

[Responsibility2nd]

Thank you. It wasn’t nice of me to call her an ugly broad, but the fact she sings like an angel overcomes her looks.

[DaxtonBrown]

Sade, exactly. Not just a great voice, but incredible musicality.

[achilles2000]

That is the only intelligent response to a list that includes Callas and, say, Aretha Franklin.

[hoagy62]

Okay...

[Mr. K]

The girl from that show “Big Comfy Couch”

"...she did that hauntingly sad yet beautiful “Into the West” for “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King”."

I had that song played during the funeral service for my late wife ...

Not a dry eye in the house at the end ...

[ETL]

Emmy Lou Harris does have a lot of beautiful songs. Her style is sort of unique, also.

[Hawthorn]

>> How about:
Jo Stafford
Dinah Washington
Ella Fitzgerald
Jane Monheit
Julie London <<

Agreed 100%. But before I could ever go along with meidocrities like Celine Dione and Pat Benatar and Christina Aguilera, at the top of my list I’d wanta see Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughn, Carmen McRae, Nancy Wilson, June Christie, Chris Conner, Anita O’Day, Dinah Shore, Edye Gormet, Rosemary Clooney, Peggy Lee, Susannah McCorkle, Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn, Patty Loveless — and probably a few others if my memory weren’t so bad!
