coxyhog Posted February 8, 2022 Posted February 8, 2022 We got one for bands so I thought why not one for female vocalists....& Boy George doesn't count. For me: Buffy Sainte-Marie Dusty Springfield Diana Ross

Mr. Smooth Posted February 8, 2022 Posted February 8, 2022 Sade Aretha Ann Wilson....when you can bring tears to the eyes of Robert Plant while belting out "Stairway", on the Kennedy Center Honors, you got some serious pipes! 2
roomark Posted February 8, 2022 Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) Sade ...complete class Beyonce (saw her with Jay Z in Manchester) Oleta Adams That's my pick... Absolutely loads more, but like bands it's impossible and depends on my mood. Edited February 8, 2022 by roomark

That Massive Attack tune and her vocal is on a different level 👌 Edited February 8, 2022 by roomark 1
maipenrai Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 Well, I think the whole idea of who is "best" when it comes to any musician or band is silly - we all have different tastes and personal favourites and there are so many different musical styles even within the same genres; I've heard some great singing from relative unknowns performing one-hit wonders. However, three female vocalists that I particularly like are: Joni Mitchell Corinne Drewery (Swing Out Sister) Harriet Wheeler (The Sundays) 1 1

Had to look up what the distinction between vocalist and singer is. The short answer, "vocalist, you focus technique and adherence to the composition". Agree with @maipenrai, same as with the best bands, what we offer up are our personal favorites. Whether vocalist or signer my favorites are; Sarah Brightman Celine Dion Amy Winehouse 1
Horizondave Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 I am offering the vocalists that have been most influential on my former years. There are more exceptional voices out there but the 3 below are those I remember fondly during the years when music was more important in my life. Kathy Kirby Karen Carpenter Diana Ross

Very true and also I think a lot depends on one's mood at the time.I just looked at my iTunes library at the female singers I've got there:Carole King,Carly Simon,Bobbie Gentry,Heather Small,Imelda May( saw her,Mica Paris & Lisa Stansfield doing a Ladies sing the Blues concert a few years ago & it was magic),Gail Ann Dorsey,Kiri Te Kanawa,Marianne Faithful,Patti Smith,Sade,Cher,Tracy Chapman,Janis Joplin,Suzanne Vega,Diana Ross,Buffy Sainte-Marie,Dusty Springfield,Mica Paris. Impossible to pick the best out of that lot! 3
