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.
Kathy Mattea
Linda Ronstadt (the singer, not the “activist”)
Anne Murray
Debbie Boone
Anne Herring
Celtic Woman
Eden’s Bridge
Vikki Carr
Karen Carpenter
Celine Dion
Crystal Gayle
Pat Benatar.
Anne Murray. Hands down.
Agnetha and Anni-Frid.
Just listening to van morissons duets
Joss stone
Alison Jesus’s
Ella Fitzgerald
And from
Old musicals Barbara cook
Aretha Franklin
Patsy Cline
Ela Fitzgerald
Big Mama Thornton
Dolly Parton, always and forever. After listening to her for the better part of 45 years, I still get a shiver up and down my spine when I hear her sing.
Any lady who can make that last, long note a little flat.
Oh yeah. Daddy likes that.
Karen Carpenter
Pat Benetar
Sade
Anita O’Day
Anita Baker
Lzzy Hale. Amy Lee, Simone Simons
Oh and I also should mention one of my alltime favs.... Karen Carpenter.
No Linda Ronstadt ?
Yet
Fabienne Shine - Lead singer for Shakin' Street, 70's French Punk band. Voice like a young Grace Slick.
Amy Winehouse
I also like KT Tunstall, or at least a few of the songs she performs.
Definitely the most unique voice. Such feeling. I still put Donna Summer close to the top.
Ella Fitzgerald
Boswell Sisters
Maxine Sullivan
Ruth Etting
Anita O’Day
Enya, too, but Sissel is better - singing and eye candy!
And from the stage: Lea Salonga and Sierra Boggess.
