Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried...


Most of my listeing is female vocals and classic Jazz.  I have enjoyed current and older female singers.  I have most of Billie Holiday through current Diana Krall and Julia Fordham.  I enjoy good voices mainly acoustic.  It would be helpful if it is music I can sample online.  If the backing is mainly loud elctronic I would likely pass.  Thanks for your thoughts and experience.

For starters, I would suggest:

  • The Truly Unforgettable Voice of Florence Foster Jenkins (Sony Classical/RCA Red Seal 88985319622)

Either the original CD or the 2016 remastered version.

@917nut  YES on Dusty... was my mom's absolute favorite. Has no one mentioned Adele? - voice of the decade. Lauryn Hill, amazing! Amy Lee of Evanescence, C'mon. May not be the OPs cup of tea but geez. Barbara Streisand, Blossom Dearie, Anne Bisson! So many...

Karen Carpenter

Holly Cole (esp 'Don't Smoke in Bed' album)

Patricia O'Callaghan

Susan Jacks (from Poppy Family)
