OK. So which female artists NOT associated with duo, group etc would make your top 10. Here's mine..in no particular order

[Moltke]

Don’t know half of those on your list...FWIW: Ella Fitzgerald!

Queen Latifah...in “Chicago.”

You are all wrong.

Nina Simone (by a long shot)

“Sinnerman”

[Fiji Hill]

I assume this is limited to pop or rock? Otherwise, no top solo women list could be complete without Patsy Cline.

Patsy Cline could rock with the best of them, as she demonstrated in her 1957 opus "Ain't No Wheels on this Ship". There's a recording of the song on Youtube, but for some reason, the link doesn't work on FR.

Her, too.

Enya
Judy Collins
Joni Mitchell

Nina Simone's Sinnerman and Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair and "I don't want him you can have him" are my favorites.

And Nancy Wilson singing "Guess Who I Saw Today"

[longhorn too]

I don’t know if to many people know about Joan Osborne buy I think she has a great voice. Here she is singing and old Jimmy Ruffin tune, “What becomes of the Broken Hearted”.
Great performance.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gA0GcXV2njY
