Who is the sexiest female vocalist?

These are all good choices and I have most of them. Of course, Lucinda Williams breaths sexy......one of the summer cottagers here in Malagash gave me some old vinyl left over from a yard sale.....among the scratched, worn albums was a copy of Jo Stafford....I cleaned it and put it on. Then I had to play it again....as much as I love the modern day jazz divas, Jo showed how to make herself an extension of whatever she was singing...style, grace, talent...I was awed....the same way when I heard a Patsy Cline album for the first time....makes you feel very humble in their presence.....cheers, Bluenose

i'm surprised no one mentioned rebecca pidgeon. i also have to agree with the cowboy junkies.

Speaking of Sirens... In "oh Brother Where Art Thou" the trio by Allison Kraus is pretty amazing. I havn't bought her albums yet- but it was really very very sexy. and I managed to get the perfect speakers for a sexy woman's voice.. AP Virgos. (Thats what actually sold me on them!)

My vote goes to Nina Simone, she can sing it all, the blues, jazz, broadway, pop and folk. She has a deep catalog of lps and cds to choose from.

I think everyone's forgot Holly Cole's "Temptation". Charles was right with Toni Braxton and if you've never heard Ella Fitzgerald (The Best of the Song Books-yellow)
sing "Bewitched,Bothered, and Bewildered"...there are others, but I think I'll play Ella right now.
