Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps


My current favorites are Eva Cassidy's "The water is wide" and "Autumn Leaves", Kiki Dee's "Take my breath away" and Ella Fitzgerald's "Angel eyes" and "Lush life".

Angie Hart with Frente - "Open Up Your Heart And Let The Sun Shine In".

That chick from Abba - "The Winner Takes it All"

Billie Holiday in her prime. Ella Fitzgerald too.

Many cuts sung by Cosette' in "Les Miserable".

Yoko Ono's screeching usually gives me hives more so than goosebumps, but I like her stuff on "Double Fantasy"...no goosebumps though.

Also Leigh Nash (the chick from Sixpence None the Richer).

I'll even admit to the fact that Katheryn McPhee did it for me on several occasions during her stint on American Idol.

Annie Haslam of Renaissance fame used to do it for me though I've cooled to her somewhat in recent years.
Another I've heard recently is jazz singer Sophie Millman.

And Ritchie Blackmore's (of Deep Purple fame wife (name?) who does vocals in his group "Blackmore's Night".
Not goosebumps exactly but I love the chick's decadent laugh in the surf guitar classic "Church Key" by The Revels.

I love the tune itself as well! Cowabunga!!!!

Kelly Clarkson in "My Life Would Suck Without You".

Check it out awesome song (and video)! Kelly at her best!
I've been really liking Candice Night of Blackmore's Night (Ritchie's wife). Much easier on the eye than Ian Gillan also!
Mahalia Jackson.  Does not get any better than her renditions of "Come Sunday" (Ellington).
