Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried...


Most of my listeing is female vocals and classic Jazz.  I have enjoyed current and older female singers.  I have most of Billie Holiday through current Diana Krall and Julia Fordham.  I enjoy good voices mainly acoustic.  It would be helpful if it is music I can sample online.  If the backing is mainly loud elctronic I would likely pass.  Thanks for your thoughts and experience.

Ernestine Anderson - Moonlight in Vermont 

Anita Baker - 

Change Moore w/ The Rippingtons

Lissie - Dreams

 

For starters, I would suggest:

  • The Truly Unforgettable Voice of Florence Foster Jenkins (Sony Classical/RCA Red Seal 88985319622)

Either the original CD or the 2016 remastered version.

@917nut  YES on Dusty... was my mom's absolute favorite. Has no one mentioned Adele? - voice of the decade. Lauryn Hill, amazing! Amy Lee of Evanescence, C'mon. May not be the OPs cup of tea but geez. Barbara Streisand, Blossom Dearie, Anne Bisson! So many...
