Best female manly voice?

I am a high school teacher, and at lunch a group of students eat lunch in my room. I usually try to play different kinds of music just to expose them to something other that MTV and the Top 10. After listening to Cassandra Wilson for a while one day, one student remarked, "For a woman, she has the best man's voice I've heard." And he wasn't making fun---he went out and bought a CD.

How about Lucille Ball and Suzanne Pleshette! Heheh.

I remember about twenty years ago while listening to KROQ here in Los Angeles, Poorman asked, "who's that dude singing?" It was Alison Moyet.

Every time a friend of mine puts Nina Simone on the CD player at work, to get a rise I always ask, "who's that dude?"

Papertrail,

I've always noticed that talented educators, people who care about their students and their work always seem to have students that want to spend time with them. You must be a pretty cool teach.

Etta James? Sounds manly? On what recording can that be heard? :-)

Mt10425, I can show my age most clearly by looking in the mirror! ;-) Moms was a classic. Would never fly today, though.
