What are your top 3 favorite female singers?

Laura Nyro

Mirella Freni

Kate Bush

Janis Joplin

Joan Sutherland

Call the thread police! I've gone two steps too far!

Mary Stallings, Rene Marie, Shirley Horn and a 4th (but really 1st)  Eva Cassidy. 

I'm pleasantly surprised to see Mary Stallings mentioned twice already! She is also one of my favorites, but I thought that she was a bit 'under the radar'.

Hard to confine it to three, of course, but I'll work around that with my three favorite lesser known singers:

Kristin Asbjornsen

Lisa Bassenge

Rokia Traore
