Well done CountZero, a formidable lineup there but your missing the one voice that tops that lot without breaking sweat....EVA CASSIDY. No longer with us but lorded by many.
Patti Smith, Nina Simone,Aretha, Karen Matheson
real music
Sarah Vaughan. Beautiful voice. Bjork, Ella, girl from Great Gig In The Sky

matter what she does, Bjork always knocks me for six.[/url]
2nd Cat Power. Nearly fell asleep at one of her gigs cos her voice is that soothing.
Kate Bush. Quite simply the best ever!
Dorset's own PJ Harvey is my favourite by a million miles.
Mention in Dispatches to:
Peaches
Louise Post/Nina Gordon (Veruca Salt)
Kim Deal/Kelley Deal/Tanya Donnelly (The Breeders/Belly/Throwing Muses)
Karen O (Yeah Yeah Yeahs)
stevie nicks
joss stone
Loads of great stuff on here, my favourite not mentioned so far would be Mimi Parker of Low. My girlfriend's been playing something called Elisane recently which is also very interesting. I'd confess to finding Enya a guilty pleasure occasionally 😳

. Everyone mentions Ella and Billie but Sarah was divine.the worlds greatest singing talent
I have lots of favourite female artists. Couple near the top of the list would be Kristin Hersh & Tanya Donelly.
[i]Great voice but it really does stop there[/i]
true, but the same could be said for many of the others named in this thread 😉
besides, I [b]only[/b] judge on voice
I like loads of female singers, but this young American Jazz singer can deliver her own distinctive renditions of songs sung by the greats.
Amy Lee, Annie Lennox and Halestorm's Lzzy Hale
Feel free to pop in to [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/elfinsafetys-friday-niteclub-special-exclusive-video-edition ]MC Elfin Safe T's Friday Niteclub[/url] folks! 😀
Actually in recognition of this thread I'll bung some choons up in there for youse...
ABBA & The Carpenter.
😛
Regina Spektor, fantastic songwriter and not a bad singer either. Also a big fan of Emmy the Great, she's got a fairly limited lightweight voice but my word, she can use what she's got.
One of my faves, but obviously before many peoples time on here...
She did the 'Taggart' theme as well.
Maggie Bell.
Just in from t'club. Jools is on. Have a listen for Rumer, fantastic new voice.
Otherwise I'd be happy to listen to Nathalie Merchant, Claudia Brücken, Julia Fordham, Judie Tzuke, Rita Coolidge and lots of other old skool singers as well as the new ladies. For sheer stage presence Siouxie Sioux and Pauline Murray were great in their day.
Billie Holliday
Dolly Parton of course !

Oi! Just seen this... No freakin advertising!!! 🙄
Some cheeky fekkers around here. 😆
Carah Faye of Shiny Toy Guns. I don't like much other female vocals stuff, dunno why it just doesn't work for me.
Just like to add Inara George, daughter of Lowell George, First Aid Kit, which I'm listening to at the moment, Swedish (I think) sisters of around 14 and 16, The Smoke Fairies, in case I forgot them before, I received their new album today and it's excellent, oh, and Mechanical Bride, and the utterly stunning Juanita Stein, singer with Howling Bells, great band and one of my favourite band names.
Oddly enough my very earliest memory is of a song by a female singer, when I was around four I guess, or thereabouts, it's Freight Train, by Nancy Whisky, and I managed to find a copy on the web, and I still love it.
Aretha is top of my list but love an awful lot of female vocalists, including Imelda May, KT Tunstall, Sarah McLachlan, Madeleine Peyroux Joss Stone(at times), Beth Orton, Billie Holliday and a bit of Whitney Houston!!
I used to be a little bit obsessed by Bonnie Tyler when i was a nipper........not sure what that says about me.
Helen Terry the woman on Great gig in the Sky
sorry about the other guys:-)
Sarah Mclachlan

a mystery[/url]
Isobel Campbell - love her stuff with Belle and Sebastian and Mark Lanegan, solo less so. "Is it wicked not to care?"
Also Sarah Cracknell (Saint Etienne) - floaty voice of an angel.
Christine Collister:

Imgoen Heap + 1
