Who is your favourite female singer?

[RogerD]

I have always had a soft spot for Pat Suzuki and her beautiful rendition of "How high the Moon"

 

[tonmeister2008]

My playlist would include:

Lizz Wright
Norma Winstone
Ernestine Anderson
Maxine Sullivan
Abbey Lincoln
Shirley Horn
Esperanza Spalding
Etta James
Bettye LaVette
Koko Taylor

In the process of discovering Epseranza Spalding and ordered her two recent CD's on Amazon. She definitely has some talent.

Sarah McLachlan. Or if in a different mood, Scotto singing un bel di; Callas singing Traviata or Tosca; Sutherland singing Lucia's mad scene.
