Great list, I’d add Ella Fitzgerald and Gladys Knight.

Interesting that nobody has mentioned Cilla Black yet...

I mean, who could forget this?

I like Cilla, she’s not my favourite singer but no one sings this song like Cilla.

Yep, can't argue with adding those two, Normskih!

Here's a Cilla duet for ya ....

I like Cilla, she’s not my favourite singer but no one sings this song like Cilla.

She's definitely going for it in that top register isn't she. Hits the notes so hard she smashes them to pieces.

 

[uncle fester]

Haven't seen her mentioned so far but I'm going to mention Gabrielle

I love female vocalists and my favourite changes with the wind, all the stand out artists have been mentioned. In addition to those I enjoy Gretchen Peters, Della Reese, Emmylou Harris and Imelda May

Oh, and a couple that few know the names of, but absolutely everyone would recognise the voice instantly:

Merry Clayton.
Clare Torry.

Oh Yes. Merry Clayton indeed. I absolutely love that track.

I never ever watch films apart from Dirty Dancing, day of the Jackal and Rita, Sue and Bob too.

Once I hear Yes again, totally ear worms me for about a week!!

 

[maccieblue]

Beki Bondage

Liz Fraser
Sinead O Connor

Just for that one song — but what a song. And what a voice.

Kim Carnes.

There's a story that Bette Davis was grateful to her for making her “cool” again to her granddaughter.

Hope Sandoval

Gotta admit we don't have the same references. I've never seen Dirty Dancing. And I don't know that song! (Better get a listen to it, sharpish).

I was actually thinking about the Stones, and “Gimme Shelter”. The one time that Jagger had a song stolen from under his nose. (That's why I also put Clare Torry in — same phenomenon basically).
