More female vocals


I am looking for some good female vocalist. I really like Etta James, Whintey Houston.
So, what other female jazz and blues singers can I look for.
As I am getting older my taste in music is changing.

Thanks Brian

Look for Hope Waits. I could only find it on Amazon - great female vocalist.

Linda Eder is exceptional as well.
If you like Etta I would look into Lorez Alexander - big voice and lots of attitude like Etta, also Cassandra Wilson (her cover of Van Morrison's Tupelo Honey is excellent), Salena Jones, and Jacintha are all very interesting voices with great takes on their own music as well as the classics.
sorry spelled a name wrong - Lorez Alexandria - I cut my teeth on her album Alexandria The Great.
