Anybody here remember Yvonne Elliman?
Also:
Enya
Loreena McKennitt
Dolores O'Reiordan of The Cranberries
Harriet Wheeler of The Sundays
And my nomination for best vocal performance EVER for a female singer goes to Clare Torry for her work on Dark Side of the Moon. She gives me chills every time I hear "The Great Gig in the Sky". |

Location: enid, ok | I like Jennifer Batten. Could easily smoke any of us on guitar, doesn't sing a note. She's badass, I'm not kidding. Uses a whammy bar very well. Also a huge influence on Kaki. Yeah, that's my choice. |

Anybody here remember Yvonne Elliman? From the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack? Sure. She played a great Mary in the Jesus Christ Superstar movie too. Great voice. |

This Lady can SING! Talk about Pipes; Talk about range; talk about emotion...forget American Idol...she would have found a way without it...she is incredible!
Also, if you can get her away from the mundaine, Joss Stone...whoa...she can make Janis Joplin pale in comparison...but again, only if she has the material to really cut loose...she needs better management and material...imho |

As mentioned a few post ago, Janis Joplin. That brought to mind the incomparable Bette Midler.

Kate Campbell, a great song writer too
To Brad's point, Nora is really good and I like all the slide and other resophonic guitars on her recordings. My wife really likes her and has worn the grooves off her cds. If I never hear NFJ again it will be too soon. |
