One of the rare other black woman voice that are pulsating nuclear emotions from the heart is Marian Anderson...Listen to "deep river" for example and at least call that a tie with Billie Holiday... The differences is that Marian can signs Verdi Schubert Bach or a negro spiritual with the same amazing weigh...It is the only one I put higher than any other voice except a very few including all opera white woman singers...
For example compare Schubert ave maria with Marian and with Jessye Norman....My choice is immediate for the pure perfection and devotion, she wins....I dream of "strange" fruit" sing by Marian...Billie Holiday is also able to convey the pure wave from one heart to another...Ella Fitzgerald for sure also...And some very rare others...
