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.

[HandyDandy]

Bobbie Gentry (for one song in particular)

[Zeneta]

Try this one from Annie.

Annie Lennox - A Whiter Shade Of Pale

Suprised anyone remembers the aussie from the Seekers. Still in fine voice.

[KC Burke]

trying to add one of mine that hasn’t been mentioned

Minnie could sing the high notes — Minnie Ripperton, Loving You

[BeadCounter]

Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood, “Some Velvet Morning”,

Pretty darn good.

[Fiji Hill]

I like this weird one from Nancy Sinatra

Some Velvet Morning (1968)

[CivilWarBrewing]

I was obsessed with Siouxsie in ways I’m ashamed of now. LOL There was nothing like seeing her in concert. VERY theatrical. Completely and totally surreal, unlike any other ‘rock’ concert.

Forgot about k d lang. Wonderful voice, whatever her personal peccadilloes.

[HandyDandy]

If you are gonna start that list, please add Witney Houston. Can’t stand the sound of her voice. It isn’t even singing.
