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.

Gogi Grant(for just one song,”The Wayward Wind”)

Have seen them live and they are amazing

If this rendition of Amazing Grace doesn’t give you goosebumps, nothing will.

I love Cyndi Lauper.

So do I.

She like Dolly Parton had a way to express truly raw emotions unlike so many others.

It wasn’t perfect, but that is what made it real.

[Stand Watch Listen]

Have many favorite female vocalists in various genre...but two songs dwell in my mind for power and intensity.

AND Reba in THAT red dress...(video not great)

Carrie Underwood "How Great Thou Art"

[BwanaNdege]

Shirley Jones - another beautiful voice who is easy on the eyes!

OMG!! I cannot believe no one has mentioned Yoko Ono. Best impersonation of a cat dying EVER!,
But, I love Aretha. Allison Krause, Adele, and any Motown ladies. What about Nancy Wilson. I wore out many of her 33’s. Dionne Warwick was so great.
