What are your top 3 favorite female singers?

jusam

"Favorite" to me means who most touches my soul, so:

Joni 

Eva 

Patty Griffin

 

 

 

kathleen battle [classical] - sheer aural beauty and agility over gravity.

tie between karen carpenter and patsy cline [pops - both had rich alto singing voices of complexity and emotional power] 

julie london [jazz/pops], a contralto powerhouse and a naturally bluesy talent. when she sang "get out of town" or "why don't you do right," she meant it with guts.
