Most underrated female recording artists..

I'm always looking for female singers who make my 2 channel system seem worthwhile for all l have spent...the list includes Nora Jones, Diana Krall , Sade and many others.... there are some fabulous singers out there but not recorded very well...lm adding Bonnie Raitt to my top list..The Bonnie Raitt collection red book cd...tracks 16 and 17 are spectacular on my system...  I'f anyone could add a suggestion it would be appreciated..

I think it may be useful to provide a short list of artists that you have actually heard, not a list pulled from an algorithm that captures every vocalist in the known and parallel universes.

My list:

Karen Dalton
Sandy Denny
Laura Nyro
Eva Cassidy
M’bilia Bel - "The Cleopatra of Congolese music"
Zoila Augusta Emperatriz Chávarri del Castillo, artistically known as Yma Sumac
María Tintaya Rayo, artistically known as "La Calandria del Sur"
Tonia la Negra
Blanca Rosa Gil
Márta Sebestyén
Mirella Freni
Teresa Berganza


That’s a short list of people you may not have heard of.
I see others have already posted some of them.

Make sure you capture #s 5-10 from me. I am sure hardly anyone here knows who they are, especially the two from Peru. The others are from Mexico (the Billy Holiday of Mexico), Cuba/Miami, Hungary and the Congo.
