Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps

Holly Cole, especially the album, Temptation.

Alison Krause no one better

She's been mentioned quite a few times already, but listen to Linda Rondstadt doing `Adios', a song written by Jimmy Webb with Brian Wilson producing and providing backing vocals (Cry Like a Rainstorm album). The final note that she hits always sends shivers up my spine, it is just so good.

Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, O Mio Babbino Caro
(title of the video clip is misspelled).

Or for an example of her singing something non-operatic, Climb Every Mountain
(don't miss her remarkable 13 second last note).

Hi Al

Many years back A friend gave me a copy of "Kiri sings Gershwin" released in 1989 on EMI Classics. For a really different presentation of Gershwin standards from an operatic singer, you might want to check it out.
