Who are your three favorite female singers?


I have favorites, but would like to hear from others.  Thanks
whatjd
Karen Carpenter - best pop
Grace Slick - best rock
Aretha Franklin - best soul

I would have included Ella for best jazz had I been allowed another choice. I always break them out by genre so I don't have to pick just one.
Sarah Brightman...incredible pipes!!!!!
Jane Oliver - Don't know what happened with her but she could sing!
Grace Slick - I feel she is very underated as a singer.  There is a You Tube video of her singing White Rabbit w/o the music.  Give it a listen.
