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.

Yep, Ella and Aretha.

Lately I’ve been knocked out by Candi Staton though:

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


Wow?

Really?

No Idea?

It’s a seriously messed up song about faith and human nature.

Cohen is genius.

Dittos Judith Durham, the haunting female lead voice of The Seekers (’Georgy Girl’). She’d have been a legend if she had stayed in the US.

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

I heard an Irish version that I like, and also a New Zealand version.

Collins generally opens her shows now with Someday Soon. I just found a cd of a concert she did recently at Wolf Trap that somehow fell between the seats of my car. Popped it in - and magic! One of her finest recordings. In it, she does some of her civil rights songs like “In the Heat of the Summer.” I saw her in concert about 10 years ago with Phil Ochs.

Yeah, I have no idea. And I’m not the only one.

Was “Michelle” by the Beatles about Michelle Phillips?

Lzzy (the way she spells it) Hale.

Many more who I can’t think of right now.

This has tended towards pop not jazz. I’ve left off most of my favorite B’way singers as well.

To go back a little further: Helen Morgan!

Did you ever encounter Vaughn de Leath singing on that wild and wacky version of “It’s Tight Like That” under the Grey Gull House Band (1929)? It’s included on the Jazz Oracle CD of “Grey Gull Rarities.” It’s a trip.

My favorite de Leath item, though, is her recording of “Birmingham Bertha.”

“And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said “All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them”
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone”

Leonard Cohen
