Best Female Vocalist Ever

[clappers]

Aretha Franklin has to take it. Just unbelievable.

Joan Armatrading for hitting your heart, Agnetha Folkstog for the purity of voice and hitting your heart, feet and a few bits in between

 

[The Catcher in the Rye]

Not the best, but Diana Ross had such a sweet voice, particularly on those early Supremes songs. I've seen her live and her voice was just as good as I'd hoped.

Tammi Terrell would have been the Queen of Motown had she not sadly died so young. When she sings with Marvin Gaye it’s just magical, could listen to them all day.

I forgot to include Helen Shapiro in my list. Had such a lovely voice at such a young age - and still has.

 

[1950`spoolfan]

Whitney Houston
Dusty Springfield
Esther Ofarim

All exceptionally beautiful and there are many more listed on here that you could easily choose but Iwould exclude Helen Shapiro who I thought back in the day tended to shout rather than sing.

Alison Moyet for me .
