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.

Don't think I saw any mention of Joan Baez, great acoustic folk or with a band in the '70s. Also love Aimee Mann, such a great songwriter. And in the guilty pleasures category, there's Barbra Streisand - Guilty, a vocal classic, great big belting. Just picked up The Story of My Life: Lea Salonga Live from Manila, her voice is just clear as a bell and so emotive. And was rocking out to Evita recently with Patti Lupone, powerful as well and such a great actor, a shining performance.
