BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER

For me, my favorite, range, tone, improv ability which is bottomless and sheer listenability, Sarah Vaughn. Can't argue with any of the above, love Ella too for many of the same reasons as Sarah but less to degree, Sarah was a true genius both vocally and artistically. Not familiar with Jane Fielding but will surely check her out!   And Eva Cassity died much too young. Not to forget Dinah Washington, amazing songstress who also left us too soon. 

Well I'm not too sure that time forgot Ella or Sarah but give it time as all things must pass. Thanks for the link Jperry.  

P.S.  Didn't ever really appreciate Doris Day as a kid, thought her movies, particularly with Rock Hudson were really obnoxious but there was one with Jimmy Stewart "The man who knew too much" which I saw later and kindled an interest in her. She was a really fine singer I must say, my mother loved her and I never knew why until I did.  

The singers in that article, I've never heard of but will surely check out, thanks again for the link!


  

Jperry Jane Fielding kind of reminds me of Margaret Whiting who was it seems a bit more famous than some of the now forgotten girls from the 50's in your link, thanks for that!. Check out "Time After Time" by Margaret very 50's style in delivery typical of white female singers from that era. All these are definitely worth checking out in contrast with today's song stylists and arrangements.
