Best female vocals on CD

I didn't have time to read each thread. Did anybodyy mention Fiest? If not, then Fiest. And Bonnie Raitt Souls alike. She's in your living room on this recording!

Must agree with Redkiwi above. One recording in particular by Ms. Horne with wonderful intimacy is "You Won't Forget Me" on Verve. The title track has a little noodling by Miles Davis. The track entitled If You Go will kill you.

For great jazz vocal selections and sterling sound, "All My Tomorrows"- Carol Kidd on Linn Records.

Mika Nakashima mixes up a bit of jazz, pop and rock. All of the above, done with this beautiful voice in Japanese.

Anything with Skye Edwards singing. Her voice is like velvet chocolate. Soft and smooth, and very very warm. A bit if Brit in her for sure, but liquid smooth beyond belief.

Listen to her on Big Calm or Charango or Who Can You Trust by Morcheeba. Very different than all of the music that has been recommended. In my opinion she is way beyond self absorbed singers like Dainna Krall. Listen and tell me you don't love her voice.

Best,
Ron
