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.

Some great stuff here, grooving to Linda Ronstadt and Sophie Zelmani.  Don't think I saw any mention of Joan Baez, great acoustic folk or with a band in the '70s.  Also love Aimee Mann, such a great songwriter.

And in the guilty pleasures category, there's Barbra Streisand - Guilty, a vocal classic, great big belting.  Just picked up The Story of My Life: Lea Salonga Live from Manila, her voice is just clear as a bell and so emotive.  And was rocking out to Evita recently with Patti Lupone, powerful as well and such a great actor, a shining performance.
