Two of my favorites....

Ella Fitzgerald (Clap hands...here comes Charlie)

Carmen McCrae (Sings the Great American songbook)
Songbird.........Eva Cassidy and The Well...........Jennifer Warnes are my favorites, there are many more.
If you're not a traditionalist (ie: jazz & classical) give (Amplified Heart - album) by (Everything But The Girl - band". The voice is Tracey Thorn's. I think you can place her along with "Margo Timmins of cowboy junkie", Sade and the like.
well I looked at a lot of responses, but there are a lot in there. I apologize if I repeat anyone, but I didn't see them at first glance anywhere in the list.
Mazzy Star
Bjork
Sinead O'Connor
Lamb (a couple of tracks)
No disrespect to any older recordings. I simply haven't taken the oppurtunity to get to know a lot of those albums.
This is just a list of modern artists that fit the bill.

enjoy,
Patrick
