BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER

HELLO TO ALL...

I've started a BEST MALE VOCAL seperately - if you want to contribute to that, please go that discussion...

I personally think the BEST FEMALE is so much harder than the Best Male, and I already have so many names in mind that I thought I'd wait and see others suggestions.

SO PLEASE OFFER YOU HUMBLE OPINION - BUT PLEASE, offer only one.

THANKS to all who cotribute...

I'd give it to Linda Ronstadt for her versatility--so many pop styles plus mariachi and Gilbert & Sullivan.  Just amazing.

  1. Newbee is spot on about Eva Cassidy. Been a fan of hers ever since she hit the DC musical scene. She deserves to be mentioned in any discussion about great female singers. Picking only one female vocal is impossible for me. I can’t even pick my favorite female singer. So much depends on the mood I’m in. But when I listen to any of the great ones, their voices can completely take me over, and totally mesmerize me. Among my favorite are: Eva Cassidy, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Peggy Lee, Dinah Washington, Billie Holiday, Ruth Brown, and several more I just can’t think of at the moment. They all had such fantastic recordings, it's Impossible to select one song as my favorite. I’m sure at least 50 songs would tie. For me, my choice of music is dictated by my current state of mind.
