I had to reread the forum question. I do not personally know the character of any of my favorite female singers that I could make an assertion that any one of them could be my lifetime mate. I chose Claudia Muzio for her public attributes. I like the dark sultry types of my ethnicity-maybe Roberta Peters, Rise Stevens, Jennie Tourel. Bas Sheva or even Beverly Sills....(when they were under 50 years old).
Josie Cotton, Lene Lovich, Pearl Harbor. All three had a lot of personality and musical & visual style. I was a member of Pearl’s band in 2002-3, and she is a real sweetheart. She was married to Paul Simonon (Clash bassist) for a while, and toured in the UK and Europe with Costello, in the States with Rockpile.
Thank you. Bidu Sayao was second only to Elsie Houston (from Brasil) who had a much bigger voice but died (suicide) just before Sayao became a big hit. She was unappreciated in Brasil and had a big following in the U.S. I have to make you a CD of her complete recordings. Sayao was so sweet and lovely sounding yet small voiced.

Claudia Muzio, whom Maria Callas tried to emulate (but didn't have the vocal ability). She combined superb musicianship, extraordinary characterizations with gorgeous soprano sound.
Linda Ronstadt holds permanent title to brain cells of every college boy who saw her that night at the Main Point in late 60s. Also, Francesca Gagnon for her soaring vocal in "Allegria" from Cirque du Soleil.
I noticed that someone picked Hope Sandoval. Good choice.I would pick Bjork or Natalie Merchant. Especial Bjork for her uniqueness. Bjork Natalie Merchant
I would have settled for an extended 3way with Ann & Nancy Wilson, lets say 1975 - 1980. Oh yes, Please include front row center stage V.I.P. seats to all their shows since we are fantasizing 😜😎
This is such a juvenile post, and I'm reluctant to get involved with such a vapid, absurd topic.
After much soul searching and truly following my deepest desires and my never ending lust for the perfect female artist/lifetime mate, these are my top picks.
