I agree with Emmylou....It should also include Lisa Gerrard.

You’re KIDDING, right?? Anyone who would presume to compare Pat Benatar with Judy Garland is...well, just DUMB. Or maybe musically CHALLENGED would be the PC term.

If Karen Carpenter had eaten that ham sandwich that killed Momma Cass Elliot, they’d both still be alive...

None of them come close to a mama (any mama) singing a lullaby to her baby.

Sweetest most beautiful singing there ever was or ever will be...Doesn't matter which tune or which language.

I was going to say Jane Monheit as well but I am a little biased. She’s married to my cousin. LOL. Real sweet girl though.

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

Another Subjective list by someone who has forgotten a lot of good female singers.
How about:
(A) Peggy Lee
(B) Billie Holliday
(C) Jo Stafford
(D) Connie Haines
(E) Doris Day
(F) Keeley Smith
(G) Sarah Vaughn
(H) Dinah Washington
(I) Ella Fitzgerald
The list could go on and on. Lot of great talent out there.

Wow. As the OP, I had no idea this would generate this many replies.

Also missing:

That ugly broad from England What IS her name? I’m drawing a blank.

Susan?

Love Annie Lenox’s voice! And I love the fact that Hugh Laurie was in her ‘Walking on Broken Glass’ video—it was beautifully done.

Incredible voice and vocal styling... somewhat obscure, definitely underated...

I think only Callas has any reson to be on this list. If you want a modern singer, where is Sade by the way?
