It will be interesting to summarize this thread to find out who got the most vote in these more than 300 openions.
Diane Schuur has been one of my favorites. A couple of her CDs are super. I just a couple weeks ago discovered Stacy Kent and plan to buy all of her CDs this weekend.
What a great list, however I didn't see my favorite and it's a real shame if nobody thought to mention ANITA BAKER! listen to The Songstress album. What a voice!
Natalie Imbruglia, Shawn Colvin, Jill Sobule, Aimee Mann, Karen Carpenter, Lulu, and, of course, Rebecca Pidgeon.
