Three Favorite Female Singers

[STP]

Hard to pick three, but I’d say off the top of my head… Stevie Nicks, Chrissie Hynde, and Amy Lee. Wait… Annie Lennox…. Ah… Chaka Khan… Debbie Harry… Ella Fitzgerald… Sarah McLachlan… Joni Mitchell… Ann Wilson… Pat Benatar. OK, I’ll stop. Impossible request!

I don’t know how I missed Sia, before and/or after the face covering. Amazing singer

What about Kate Bush?

I like Kate Bush too.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Edie Brickell, Alison Krauss, Mindy Smith... just three? :::sigh:::

 

[NomadOrb]

1. Umm Kulthum - Arabic singer from the 20s-70s.
2. Nina Simone
3. Ella Fitzgerald

 

[jcsoldit]

In no particular order... Emmylou Harris, Carly Simon, Patsy Cline, Reba Mcentire. I had a crush on 3 of the 4 at one time or another, Patsy Cline died when I was just a little guy, but my mom was a big fan so I knew her music from an early age.

 

[Merton]

Dinah Washington: the catch in the voice, the style...just listen to September in the Rain...great...died much too young
Bernadette Peters: in the company of Julie Andrews and Barbara Cook as Broadway's greatest. No one sings Sondheim like her, listen to Not A Day goes by...
Amy Winehouse: so immensely talented. A generational singer. Her sad and tragic death, on the cusp of greatness, was, and is, painful for those of us who loved her voice. A limited body of work but so much of it great. Listen to her duet with Tony Bennett on Body and Soul among, well, anything else she recorded...tears dry on their own

 

[autumnfog]
