Who are your three favorite female singers?

+1@richmos,

Dang Etta James! Forgot another one!

1)  Barbra Streisand
2)  Barbra Streisand
3)  Barbra Streisand

Does anyone why Natalie Merchant Tigerlily is so expensive on vinyl or anything about the 2015 release? 
I’m interested in a mint or near mint copy but when I did a search a few days ago I only found copies available starting at about $100.

davidm238  Only my sister would agree with you (collects all Streisand since she was a child).  

@ sondeknz  My mistake, you didn't mention Garland.  I heard Stacey Kent.  A small, thin sounding voice.  I prefer fuller sounding voices with a wider frequency range.  Judith Durham was okay, had pitch problems when she sang.   I might as well list June Christy, Jeri Southern, Dinah Washington, Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday as some of my jazz favorites.  Dorothy Kirsten, Rise Stevens and Conchita Supervia (Spanish songs) as great crossover opera - pop singers
