Who are your three favorite female singers?

Natalie Merchant
Linda Ronstadt 
Emmylou Harris

Comment on Jennifer Warnes. Possibly one of the best vocalists out there but my tastes lean more towards rock and blues. The song she did on the Duets album with Rob Wasserman is absolutely outstanding. 

Rosa Passos has to be included in mine.
The way she sings in Portuguese (foreign to me), I swear she is
singing only for me.  Anyone else know her work?

1. Annie Lennox
2. Emmylou Harris
3. Joni Mitchell

The 3 that can bring tears to my eyes.

Just saw Yola on Austin City Limits. She's got a powerful yet effortless voice. Got to check her out on Qobuz.

+1 @sgordon1,

Yes! I bought my first Rosa Passos cd in Salvador de Bahia, Brazil. I love her!
I probably have more than a thousand flac albums in Portuguese in my flac burning days when I was learning to speak Portuguese. But that’s another thread...
