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.
Maria Brink
Patsy Clime
Dusty Springfield
Linda Ronstadt
Janis
Jo Stafford
Annie Lennox
Mama Cass, along with the other Mama and Papas.
She was fat and ugly but she sure could sing.
Also Gale Storm used to do a great “Dark Moon”.
Allison Kraus (she has a voice like I think an angel would) and Pat Benetar (who else can rock it like she can?)
Siouxsie and the Banshees - eve white/eve black live 1983
Wicked, eh?
I prefer Dolly Parton’s version of “I will always love you” over Whitney’s version every day.
Oh that’s nice.
Hillary Scott (with Lady Antebellum)
Olivia Newton-John
Karen Carpenter
Yes, me too. And she wrote it, of course. Dolly is one talented lady.
Dusty Springfield, Judith Durham, Martha Tilton, Anita O’day, Anne Murray, Karen Carpenter, Jo Stafford, Helen Forrest, Judy Collins.
Leslie Gore (sniff...)
Francine Reed
Linda Ronstadt
Mama Cass
Fiona Apple, Elvis Costello - “I Want You”
One of my Favorites
