Best female vocals on CD

Hello,
I heard for my first time, while auditioning speakers for my first time since 1978, Rebecca Pidgeon sing "Rose In Sapnish Harlem". It was on a pair of Paradigm Studio 60's being powered by a 250watt amp. I have never heard anything that sounded that good. I can still hear her voice in my mind. It gave me goosebumpbs.

Two of my favorites....

Ella Fitzgerald (Clap hands...here comes Charlie)

Carmen McCrae (Sings the Great American songbook)

I forgot, Bonnie Raitt, what a combo of musical ability and voice
joeb

Songbird.........Eva Cassidy and The Well...........Jennifer Warnes are my favorites, there are many more.

If you're not a traditionalist (ie: jazz & classical) give (Amplified Heart - album) by (Everything But The Girl - band". The voice is Tracey Thorn's. I think you can place her along with "Margo Timmins of cowboy junkie", Sade and the like.
