My favorites are:

Old ones:

1. Edith Piaf
2. Sarah Vaughan
3. Ella Fitzgerald 
4. Billie Holliday 
5.Aretha Franklin

Not so old ones:

1. Lizz Wright 
2. Melody Gardot
3. Sade
4. Whitney Houston
5. Morgan James
Jennifer Warnes (must mention the amazing quality of all of her recordings), Linda Ronstadt (can sing the phone book), and of course Eva Cassidy

Then Julie London, K D Lang
My favorite three:

Alison Krause
Linda Ronstadt
Bonnie Raitt

Love the voice of Italian songstress, Laura Pausini, too.

So many other great singers/songwriters listed here.
