alembic63 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Some great female vocalists already posted here but for me, there's only one...the fabulous Joni Mitchell [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2Hk_NNU_u8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2Hk_NNU_u8[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telebass Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 [quote name='Linus27' timestamp='1389452308' post='2334310'] Well this is probably the sweetest voice I have heard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuglvdPZ-JU [/quote] Easily the best.

Bilbo Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 The massively under-rated Janis Siegel. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAtJXSodaDQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAtJXSodaDQ[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I have a love-hate relationship with Diana Krall but this is lovely. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=it1NaXrIN9I"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=it1NaXrIN9I[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 And no-one matches Joni. Sublime. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKQSlH-LLTQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKQSlH-LLTQ[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FretNoMore Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 [quote name='Japhet' timestamp='1389439306' post='2334119'] She really was a massive talent and a huge loss to the music industry. She was around for such a short time but made a long lasting impact. I assume Sting is raking it in as well, which is a shame. [/quote] Whether you like Sting as a person or not, he should have props for writing a beautiful song. I think Eva Cassidy's is the definitive version of it though.

EddyGlee Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) How about the woman that influenced them all.. [media]http://youtu.be/thSfGPZGmnQ[/media] No one with more feel than Billie. Edited January 12, 2014 by EddyGlee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 If the thread is going down an 'overlooked female singer songwriter' route then can I chip in a couple more? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMUz2TNMvL0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lK1rAc2QpM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetaFunk Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) I can't believe that we've got so far without mentioning Laure Nyro a singer songwriter who probably influenced more singer songwriters than anyone else. She sang with a passion and emotion seldom seen before. For anyone who has or is just about to discover her then you have a treat in store. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jjdowef1oKE Edited January 12, 2014 by BetaFunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DorsetBlue Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I think Karen Carpenter was one of the best female vocalists ever. However, if you like Karen - look up Rumer, she has an amazing Karen-like sound on some of her songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonestar Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) I like Rumer. there's a good Live from darryl's session with her http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqgmTGQ8MIU&list=PLBF9EC31C4399351B&feature=share This dusts my broom too: http://youtu.be/Vifw3aQbrlY Edited January 13, 2014 by lonestar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetaFunk Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 The Carpenters would have been the absolute height of naff for most people between the ages of 18 and 25 when this was aired in 1971 but i think this is one of their finest tracks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xlr-gS1VhWY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
