Any list that doesn’t include Karen Carpenter is just wrong.
Karen Carpenter is at the top of the list in my book. She had very few peers.
Also, what about Veronica Bennett (Ronettes)? Dionne Warwick?
And if Pat Benatar is on the list (rightfully so great voice), then Deborah Harry deserves a place.
I think that because Karen Carpenter wasn’t really hip or glamorous enough, she is sometimes overlooked on these kinds of lists.
And Mama Cass.
I agree. Julie Andrews should be on there too, IMO.
