Could be Emmylou Harris. Or Iris Dement. Or Julie Miller. Or Joan Osborne. Or Carlene Carter. Or Kasey Chambers. Or Rhonda Vincent. Or Patty Loveless. Or Chrissie Hynde, I guess ;-) .
Some of ya’ll have nominated dead ones, so I’ll add Tammy Wynette, Amy Winehouse, Eva Cassidy, and (me too) Dusty Springfield (too bad I'm not "her type" ;-).
Ha ha ha, what a topic! I think I would have to either go with Linda Ronstadt or Nora Jones; nowt that they are the most attractive, but they are, or were, beautiful women with beautiful voices that bring out emotion in me. This of course also presumed that Marilyn Monroe singing “happy birthday Mr. president” to JFK, does not count as qualifying her as a female vocalist.
Susan Tedeschi? Is she cool enough..? If not I will drop her like a hot brick or whatever but....no, I really like her. So it's Susan Tedeschi....or Linda Ronstadt circa 1974 but I was a little young so....Susan or Linda or Joni around 1971 but that's it.....unless of course I can include Ann OR Nancy Wilson late '70s and that's IT!!
OK Diana K is hot and love her music but I can't compete with Elvis (for now....) so maybe Diana Ross around 1972?? Well of course I'm ignoring Michelle Phillips and Janis Joplin (OK just seein if you're paying attention w/JJ....) but maybe Shelby Lynn...AND her sister? Please!!!??
OK I'm just a whore. Give me Brandi Carlisle, Carol King, a young Chaka Khan, Edie Brickell, Cher, Duffy, Norah Jones Hell I'll take just about anyone....
.....sorry Madonna, I said JUST about anyone, you can sit your nasty @$$ right back down!!! (I'm saving myself for Kacey Musgraves...)
Elina Garanca, or Anna Netrebko.......either or. Hilary Hahn. Linda Perry. Monica Richards (faith and the Muse). Carl McCoy (one for the ladies) Fields of the Nephilim Siohan Maher- River City People.
KATE BUSH: I have had a crush on her since 1977 ? when she was on Saturday night live. She had on a skin tight gold Leopard lamay body suit. Her hair was afire. She sang the kick inside. She was a recordist in a band at age 14. Charted at 19 years old. She’s a singer, dancer, songwriter, actor and filmmaker. And she is still beautiful!
