there’s many great ones, but in my book, everything considered—catalogue, styles, class, enuciation, range, scat, improv, interpretation, intonation—Ella is the greatest female vocalist of all time.

I would say Ella and Sarah Vaughan were the top two female jazz songstresses of all time. Sara's voice with its four octaves and rich timbre was second to none.
