Who is the sexiest female vocalist?

Yes, Diana Krall, but I gotta admit I've always had this "thing" for Stevie Nicks...

Stevie even overweight is a good choice but Jennifer Warnes-
the Hunter is the one.

Hi Dds_hifi; Nice thread. I would agree with Diana Krall for today, but from some years ago, I would nominate Roberta Flack singing "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"-- this song leaves me nearly breathless-- and it's over 5 minutes long. It's on the Atlantic label, and titled "Softly with these Songs, the Best of Roberta Flack".

Shirley Horn, "Ultimate" on the Verve label is easily one of the best also, and IMO has the best and purest voice of these three. Ms Horn was nominated by Diana Krall to be one of the Ultimate jazz artists. Cheers. Craig

I think Margo Timmons of the Cowboy Junkies has a sultry voice, but Christy Barron singing "This Must be Love" off the Steppin CD always turns my wife on which turns ME on!

My picks:

Betty Roche on the Bethlehem Records release of Porgy and Bess. Especially on the song "Summertime".

Diana Krall "Love Songs" (already mentioned by Mgl23)

While I don't care much for her stuff, Julie London could give a 90 year old man a rise on some of her songs.

Hmm, I'm sure there's others. I'd better get back to the "Honey Do list" ...
