Best female vocals on CD

Best (favorite) fvocd: JAZZ : Shirley Horne With Strings "Here's To Life". Amazing CD. Talk about creating a mood. Incredibly romantic and soulfull singing beginning to end. The CD is best listened to in it's entirety; each track better than the previous. Very tasty piano playing by Ms. Horne also. Runnerup: Sarah Vaughn "Live From Japan" CLASSICAL: Kathleen Battle "Schubert Lieder" w/James Levine. The great Karl Leister on clarinet a bonus. Glorious singing. Runner up: Victoria de Los Angeles "Songs of Spain".POP: Janis Joplin "Big Brother and The Holding Company". Scary. Runner up: Joni Mitchell "Court and Spark" Cheers.

Just listened to Ferrell's Individuality. Nice voice but totally heartless. Same ballpark as Celine. Has Ferrell done any older stuff. Maybe that style isn't complimentary

Sdcampbell (thread entry #3) said it all! No Celine FAN here, Frogman, but my track pick still stands. Add to my faves: Susannah McCorkell, Eddi Reader (Fairground Attraction), Tanita Tikaram (German singer in English), and Miriam Makeba. So there!

This is really showing my age, but I just got the Joni Mitchell "Court & Spark" CD. Some really classic lyrics and very nice music.

I could keep going, so many good ones, so little space!
