Linda Rondstadt on her early stuff like "Heart Like A Wheel" and "Don't Cry Now" should be listened to.
Beautiful Vocals...
I'd like to nominate the most beautiful woman vocals that not only look stunning but sing super great!

While a lot of the music that she is most often identified with was, shall we say, of a different era, in my entirely subjective opinion Connie Francis had the best overall combination of voice, talent, looks, and versatility (recording numerous genres in approximately 15 different languages) of any popular (non-classical, non-opera) female singer I have ever heard. While a sentimental ballad such as "Al Di La" will certainly not be everyone's cup of tea, try to imagine it being done more perfectly than in this 1964 live performance, I believe on the Ed Sullivan TV show. IMO. Regards, -- Al |
I'm old and saw her in person,Julie London was a singer who did a lot of acting. Babs could not carry her music, or a tune for that matter. I have a brother in law is a very famous jazz pianist, Julis is VERY well thought of among jazz folk, many say no singer had better timing, hit every note just where it should be hit. Obviously, she didn't sing jazz in a movie, get a CD and listen with an open, not empty mind. |
I'm young(40's), but watch lots of classic movies. Her voice and tembre is great and pleasant but she's been always singing easy vocal parts suitable for any amateur person. Her main occupation is an actress and ability to sing with nice tembre and voice is just an incentive to it. This is one of better examples of classic performers in both ways(beauty and skill of singer) IMHO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csRUYiZvB70 |
