Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried...

Most of my listeing is female vocals and classic Jazz.  I have enjoyed current and older female singers.  I have most of Billie Holiday through current Diana Krall and Julia Fordham.  I enjoy good voices mainly acoustic.  It would be helpful if it is music I can sample online.  If the backing is mainly loud elctronic I would likely pass.  Thanks for your thoughts and experience.

I might suggest Amanda McBroom. Has several albums on Sheffield, maybe other labels.  And also, just to perform the song she wrote, "The Rose," Bette Midler.

And on the classical side, Get all four volumes of Wagner's Ring Cycle which features numerous very competent female vocalists.  Use the recordings of the Vienna Philharmonic under Solti.  They were recorded by Decca in the early 1960's if memory serves.  Available on vinyl and lesser quality on CD.  (no heat seeking missiles, I have both.)
