Favorite Female vocalists ?
today | Me

Posted on 06/19/2015 5:55:09 PM PDT by 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.

My favorite Dionne Warwick hit is her first:

Don't Make Me Over (1962)

Thank you. Collins does a beautiful job on Suzanne - a song that’s pretty but that I have no clue to its meaning.

I’m surprised that I didn’t see anybody back me up with Cindi Lauper?

I know it’s not classic, but she has a way of expressing raw emotions unlike many others.

Or the Aussies, singing "I've been everywhere" which is originally written by an Australian though most of us know the Johnny Cash version.

Dionne Warwick, Streisand (nix on her politics), Ronnie Spector, Dusty Springfield, Karen Carpenter ...good voices. Best music from the 60’s. Ever notice how many young people can sing along with our stuff? Timeless.

You may be the only other poster who mentioned Carole King.

Oh, and I can’t forget Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson of the B-52s.

Whitest thread ever!

On “favorite female vocalists” Janice Joplin’s up at the top,

Ella the purist makes an appearance

Sarah Vaughans and the like nowhere to be found.

Pass the (spray cheddar,) this is one lonely cracker!
