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.

Yes, Astrid Gilberto
Lani Hall from Brazil 66
Sade

Current fave Korean songstress, Ailee from the funny and sad drama Fated to Love You (Check it out)

And off topic, I discovered this song by Smith from ‘69. I always thought she was black; but no, she’s a beautiful blonde girl. “Baby, its you.”

Laura Nyro

Saw her live at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia in 1967 sitting alone at a piano. Way more personality and energy than is heard on her recordings.

Laura Nyro, I believe a reknowned songwriter as well, so, that makes me think of Carol King, writer of some very good songs, “You’ve got a friend” and others... and I don’t think she was mentioned, maybe she is not a great singer.

That’s a great link and version. Thanks.

I also listened to some of those songs you, I believe, posted earlier from the ‘20s, ‘30s too perhaps, Jane Green. Very good, I am glad these singers are not being forgotten.
