Best female vocals on CD

Hey Subaruguru, I think your comments about Peggy Lee are exactly right and the rest ARE apprentices. I hope I live long enough to hear them grow up. Can you imagine Krall with another twenty or thirty years on her pipes? I can hardly wait!

Excellent thread - most of my favourites have been mentioned. I am especially attracted to singers who write their own material. In that vein - Kate Bush. Her first album, "The Kick Inside", has some great songs, and "Hounds of Love" is just a spectacular recording.

It's too bad the topic is "best female vocals on CD" otherwise I'd plug Amanda McBroom's "The Rose" on Sheffield Labs direct-to-disc.

Kate Schrock;Dames Rocket. Has been rockin my world lately.
It was mastered by gateway studios and sounds has good has any 24/96 i have heard.Has always great thread

Ella Rules. The MSFL 2 Cd set with Louis ARmstrong is a good example.

Oh Yeah Karen Carpenter ranks way up there Too!
