For the dudes, can't be without Joe Cocker, Robert Plant, Elton John, Stevie Ray and that guy from A-ha

 

[laatsch55]

Patricia Barber, and that gal that does the Shpongle lyrics when they have some. Ther's a gal that does some for Infected Mushroom that's pretty damn good too...

 

[VintageShadow]

..and that guy from A-ha

Aha, so you mean Morten Harket, yeah he has a great interesting voice and i like it too. I also like Adele, George Michael, David Gilmour, Marie Fredriksson from Roxette, Agnetha from ABBA, Terri Nunn from Berlin, Freddy Mercury, etc, etc, and there are many other great voices too..

F'n take my card away, how could I forget my girl Patrica?? http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=patrica+barber+black+magic+woman+video&ei=UTF-8&fr=chrf-yff26

Not her best version of this song but...I love how she articulates with her hands when she sings, just lovely

adding Johnette Napolitano (Concrete Blonde] https://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=utf-8&fr=ytff1-yff27&p=concrete blonde &type=

One of the most awesome concerts I ever saw

If ya have 20 minutes to spare check out Jon Anderson in this vintage concert, http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=yes+close+to+the+edge+1975&ei=UTF-8&fr=chrf-yff26

Alison Krauss

Second that on Alison Krauss, she has the voice of an angel. Karen Carpenter, Gwen Stefani and Pink. I have some favorites on the male side but they are not close to the female singers.

 

[speakerman1]

I like Bocelli and Pavarotti too.

And also Ella Fitzgerald, a great and memorable voice.

Ella can sing. Ray Charles "Georgia On MY Mind" He can sing it like no one else.
