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?

Jennifer Warnes ... when I hear her sing I know where I was at and what I was doing, numerous times and songs places and she just moves me with her voice ...

I know it’ll anger some, but Barbra Streisand has a powerful voice.

More to consider:

Billie Holiday
Annie Lennox

and, in her prime, Whitney Houston

Tough to pick just three. I can definitely see Karen Carpenter in there. Sad how her life ended. The same can be said for Whitney Houston.

Hillary Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, and then Hillary again.

Also for Nobel Prizes, Pulitzer Prizes, Oscars, Emmys, Tonys, and such. ...and for Pope.

Among current singer/songwriters I think Pink is outstanding.

Dude, you’re the mumbling moron. EF took the shtick known as “scat” that Louis Armstrong had come up with because he couldn’t remember some lines and EF made it into a classic form of entertainment. No other female performer of the past century can match EF’s range of octaves, clarity and strength.

> Jo Stafford, perfect pitch, sweet gentle soulful voice <

Jo Stafford, yes, absolutely! She’s my favorite singer, period. It’s a shame that the current generation doesn’t know more about her.

I agree, first note sung and you know it’s her. Mama Cass Elliott had that same”original” voice, but she was no Karen Carpenter.
