Lucky Posted March 18, 2008 Report Posted March 18, 2008 (edited) Patsy Cline has not been mentioned, nor has Linda Ronstadt Edited March 18, 2008 by Guest
Rayzor Posted March 18, 2008 Report Posted March 18, 2008 Christine (Perfect) McVie hasn't been mentioned either.
Viaene Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 Aretha Franklin deserves a mention (if she didn't had one before)
Ken Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 To simply say Tina Turner is one thing, but hey, don't take my word for it... This is stunning.. Ike and Tina on the Midnight Special Some things cannot be copied...
elie Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 grace slick (i love her voice) linda rondstat janis mcvie ann wilson
edna Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 Janis Joplin, Grace Slick, Sandy Denny, Amy Winehouse...
GroovyGal Posted April 2, 2008 Report Posted April 2, 2008 For the rockers.... Janis Ann Wilson Stevie Nicks Chrissie Hynde Cass Elliot Now for the non-rockers.... Mahalia Jackson Judy Garland Rosemary Clooney Tammi Terrell
Uncle Joe Posted April 2, 2008 Report Posted April 2, 2008 I'm too lazy to scroll back. Did anyone mention Aretha Franklin yet? Zooks, nice grab mentioning Tracy Nelson.
CanAm Posted April 2, 2008 Report Posted April 2, 2008 In no particular order: Linda Ronstadt Pop/Rock Annie Lennox Rock Mary Chapin Carpenter Country/Folk/Pop Bonnie Raitt Rock/Pop/Blues Karen Carpenter Pop Jane Olivor Pop Martina McBride Country/Pop Trisha Yearwood Country/Pop Anne Murray Country/Pop Patsy Cline Country Anne Wilson Rock/Pop These women all have extraordinary voices. Tremendous quality and control. However, there are many other female singers whose work I admire (like Sandy Denny), who sing with passion and whose voices are particularly well suited to the material they sing.
Uncle Joe Posted April 2, 2008 Report Posted April 2, 2008 Nice list, Ian. May I add Annie Haslam and even Maddy Prior?
skybluesky Posted April 2, 2008 Report Posted April 2, 2008 My favorite female singers of all time are Janis Joplin and Ella Fitzgerald, who could not be more polar opposite in both singing and life styles. Also high up on my list- Sarah McLachlan Joni Mitchell Karen Carpenter Olivia Newton-John Adding- Carly Simon Carole King Deborah Harry Cass Elliot Dusty Springfield Norah Jones
Uncle Joe Posted April 2, 2008 Report Posted April 2, 2008 You're sounding pretty good yourself there, Shannon.
blind-fitter Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 Nice list, Ian. May I add Annie Haslam and even Maddy Prior? If we're including the "classic English folk" voice, how about June Tabor?
MuzikTyme Posted April 17, 2008 Report Posted April 17, 2008 Let's not forget her sister, Nancy. Who played the great guitar riffs. Butt,,, The best female voice of all time... Whoa!!! Who can answer that? Okay... Sheryl Crow comes to mind...
CanAm Posted April 22, 2008 Report Posted April 22, 2008 Nice list, Ian. May I add Annie Haslam and even Maddy Prior? Joe, you may indeed!! I'm not familiar with Annie Haslam, but I love Maddy Prior's work with Steeleye Span. I will have to acquaint myself with Ms. Haslam's material.
CanAm Posted April 22, 2008 Report Posted April 22, 2008 If we're including the "classic English folk" voice, how about June Tabor? Yes indeed, B.F., June Tabor is certainly an excellent example of the "classic English folk" voice, as are Sandy, Annie (with whose voice I am now better acquainted), Maddy and Linda Thompson, to name but a few.
MuzikTyme Posted April 24, 2008 Report Posted April 24, 2008 What was the name of the Fat Lady that used to always sing when it was over?
Island Boy Posted May 1, 2008 Report Posted May 1, 2008 Stevie Nicks Natalie Merchant Aretha Franklin
