Who are your three favorite female singers?


I have favorites, but would like to hear from others.  Thanks

Likely not for everyone or even on this list, but I do find "Somewhere In The Stars" by Rosanne Cash an enjoyable CD.   Worth a listen.

How do you do a list like this unless you break it down by genre? It is like comparing Freddy Mercury to Luciano Pavarotti, or Julio Iglesious. They are all phenomenal in their respective genres, but there are other greats in those genres as well.

Names that come to mind:

- Tina Turner
- Jennifer Warnes
- Elaine Page


And this confirms what I always suspected, that audiophiles can't count.
instead of listing my 3 favorites I’m going to list the 3 that’s in current rotation.
Somi
Lizz Wright
Beth Hart
Grab your headphones and give these ladies a listen.

Beth Hart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEHwO_UEp7A

For current rotation, that would be Lucinda Williams (I love her reimagining of the Sweet Old World album, now entitled This Sweet Old World), Mary Gauthier, and Patty Loveless.

There is a YouTube video wherein Iris Dement is accompanied on harmony vocals by Emmylou Harris and Joan Osborne, recorded live in a living room with great Bluegrass musicians. Wonderful.
