There are so many more and I could continue but I have to add Dana Owens aka Queen Latifah *her jazz work is solid!

Sophie Zelmani;

Beady Belle; and

Aimee Mann

 Didn't see Linda Ronstadt or Tori Amos. Linda has the best voice ever, what ever genre she sings. Sadly Parkinsons disease has muted her extraordinary voice. In my view, Tori is nipping at her heels. My two cents.
