Three greatest female vocalists ever?

Posted on 06/10/2017 7:03:58 PM PDT by MNDude

A few weeks ago we had a thread with a subject of who the greatest male vocalist ever were. There were many great comments on that thread. So for tonight, I am asking who do you think are the three greatest female vocalists ever?

Many excellent nominees here — I’ll add Eva Cassidy — not well known, passed away way too young, but her voice is goose-bump inducing

She was bothered by the little glitches in her performance here. I'm not.

I lived near Blues Alley and could easily have attended this performance by Eva, but I never heard of her before malignant melanoma killed her.

Jenni Rivera, had a fantastic voice, and tragically perished in a plane crash.

She’s the one that first came to mind but her name escaped me. Didn’t know Alvin York was her cousin. Thank you for the reminder and the historical/familial fact.

Karen Carpenter would be in the top three, and Doris Day would be my third choice. No one quite sounds like any of them.

A top 10 would make these kind of decisions a lot easier with so many great vocalists from which to choose.

Cleo Laine - her name must be included somewhere in that three.

Her version of “Could It Be Magic” is surprisingly good as well. Barry Manilow’s version is “thoughtful”...Donna’s cover is the emotional side.
