BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER

Many great ones listed here...A new one to me was Melody Gardot’s CD “My One and Only Thrill”. Every song is nice and she wrote most. She’s very articulate and usually waits to the end of each phrase to use her vibrato. 

Here she is in the tub singing, “Baby I’m a Fool”:

@soundsbeyondspecs   +1!  I couldn't agree more.  I am a huge fan of Melody. All of her albums are worth having.  Meaningful, heartfelt songs sung by a gal who has been through some very rough times.  "My One and Only Thrill" is my favorite song of her's and probably her best conceived album.  You can tell it has caught on with lots of folks as there are 180 gram LPs at 33 ⅓ and 45 rpm!

Melody, Eva Cassidy and, of course, Karen Carpenter, are/were some of the greatest natural talents ever.  Yes, I know there are many other notable ladies with fantastic vocal gifts!

Nobody has mentioned the Barnsley Nightingale, Kate Rusby. 

Surprised Annie Lennox wasn’t mentioned. Haunting voice. 

Eva Cassidy - a tragedy that she died so young
Jewel - listen to "Love used to be"
Jennifer Nettles - listen to "O holy night / hallelujah

Wow...great vocals
