Female vocalist recommendations

Thank you.  Joan Baez tucked away amongst 49 odd others.

Early Joan had the most pure untrained high soprano voice there ever was.  It rings like a bell.  If you want beauty in a voice, look no further than her very first Vanguard recording.

Great list! No Billie Holiday?

Oh, I have plenty of Billie, Ella, and so many others we both like I'm sure.

That list is just the ones lying around that I've listened to over the past 3-1/2 months while dealing with/recuperating from a bad infection in the bones of my foot. In/out of hospital, 3 surgeries, 11 weeks on intravenous antibiotics, lost 34 lbs, carried out on a stretcher, rehab, I've been thru the wringer!

"Keep off your feet", it's been a lot of TV or Music!

Piles of lps and cds hither and thither. Should invite friends over for dinner, that would inspire me to put them back in the barn.

You might try reading the thread here "Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried". You might be in for a surprise.
