Melody Gardot. Don't miss this newcomer's two Verve albums, "Worrisome Heart" and "My One and Only Thrill," the latter also available on vinyl.
5 to start with:

Dusty Springfield - "Dusty in Memphis"
Shelby Lynne - "Just a Little Lovin'" (covers the above)
Marti Jones - "Used Guitars"
Joan Armatrading "Track Record"
Jennifer Warnes "The Hunter" (best sound quality of any pop/rock recording in my collection).

Marty

Check for the following female artists:

Jennifer Warnes - The Well;
Marianne Faithfull - Easy Come Easy Go;
Mary Coughlan - The House Of Ill Repute;
Barb Jungr;
Joni Mitchell;
Debe Welch.

I'm sure you will like those voices.
Check out Ingrid Michaelson & Missy Higgin's. Both artists are a bit more current, but very good.
Bette Midlers:

1)Bette Midler Sings The Rosemary Clooney Songbook
2)Sings the Peggy Lee Songbook [DUAL DISC]

Both disc's are filled with well recorded pop standards. These two disc have been leaders in my collection, meaning they have led to other recording artist.
