random on 09:43 - May 23 with 1808 viewsTomS Aretha Franklin would probably top my list. However I'm surprised that neither Elaine Paige or Annie Lennox have been mentioned so far.

random on 09:37 - May 24 with 1683 viewsMyke Some great choices 'Alf' one of my favourite albums. Janis Ian one of my early favourites. Loved Debbie Harry, Chrissie Hynde, Toya Wilcox and, Joan Jet. More recently, Dido and Taylor Swift

random on 20:50 - May 24 with 1445 viewsjohann28 Good thread. There's so many. Billie Holliday and Ella Fitzgerald from the jazz era, check out Clare Martin if you like jazz classics. Amy Winehouse probably the best voice in the modern era. Janis Joplin in the rock age. Lots of others. Barbara Streisand a stand out. Agree Annie Lennox, underrated. Folk - Maddie Prior. Versatile. Carole King and Joni Mitchell also. New stuff - Agnes Obel and Ane Brun [Post edited 24 May 2021 20:52]

I also love Clare Martin or dig would be the word for jazz fans. Jazz seems to suit female singers more than geezers of whom there are relatively few.

Fortunate enough to see her at the old Hammersmith Odeon, I think it was on one the Motown tours with various other artists in the early seventies, was married to Stevie Wonder at the time.
random on 12:23 - May 28 with 1074 viewskarl random on 10:23 - May 22 by nix I agree Amy Whitehouse would have got better and better. Stevie Nicks amazing voice. I know it's unfashionable but I like a bit of Dido.
