Good discussion, but I don't think anyone has mentioned Dusty Springfield - "The Look of Love" on the Casino Royale disc and "Son of a Preacher Man" on Dusty in Memphis. Granted, we are only talking about two songs, but what a great pair of songs they are.
I took your advice and listened to the Cowboy Junkies' Margo Timmins - I still want to marry Jennifer Warnes but a few nights with Margo might be interesting.
If I had to pick a favorite, I guess it would be a tie between Thelma Houston(Sheffield Lab Pressure Cooker) and Lisa Gerrard(Dead Can Dance or solo).
I like many of those already mentioned, but I have to add my favorite--Toni Braxton, any of her albums, latest "The Heat" is outstanding. (nice to look at and listen to!)
