Female Singers Who's Your Fave?

[1968rt]

How about Lita Ford?

 

[1968rt]

I think you have to divide the different eras!

 

[Budnicks]

I love most the 60's Motown stuff
Aretha, Wells, Gladis Night, Supreme's etc.
In the 70's & 80's more rock & roll stuff
Wilson sisters, Pat Benatar, Joan Jett, Lita Horn
Stevie Nicks before she went batshit crazy
the regulars mainstream rock/rhythm ladies

(Later I was far more of a Ted Nugent, AC/DC, Molly Hatchet, Def Leppard
Lynyrd Skinner, Creedence, Kiss, Rush, Van Halen, Peter Frampton
Rossington Collins, Dr. Hook, Buffalo Springfield, Cream, Eric Clapton
a lot of Beach Boys, Jan & Dean, surf music etc. "I loved my rock"
was not big into most girls bands, some lead singers were really good)

in the later 90's
I wanted to be the meat in a Faith & Shania sandwich

Annie Lennox

 

[padam]

Debbie Harry
Chrissy Hynde
Norah jones
Allison krause

 

[Sahara]

just listen

She has some amazing guitars there; at least three of them would be amazing to find today. No pedals, just amp and guitar. Awesome!

 

[DeltaV]

All of the above. Linda Ronstadt certainly stands out in my mind after watching her on Austin City Limits one night.

I like Carole King too.

 

[Speedbird]

Something to be said for doing both.
Not bad for a live perfomance.

Album cut of the voice.
Contralto?
It's rare.

[FitzyB5]

Karen Carpenter
Joan Armatrading
They had fantastic voices.
Didn’t anyone see Tommy Boy with that famous convertible GTX?

[polywideblock]

she was 33 in 1999 when this was made

 

[Geetex]

Jump into the way back machine and give Mary Ford a listen too, of course, accompanied by her husband at the time the legendary Les Paul.

 

[steve from staten island]

All of the above. Linda Ronstadt certainly stands out in my mind after watching her on Austin City Limits one night.

I like Carole King too.

If your a fan of Carole King, when you get up my way try and see the musical "Beautiful". Its a great show all about her life, you and yours will enjoy it

 

[HALIFAXHOPS]

Terry Nunn One hell of a voice.

 

[YY1]

Ann Wilson

 

[GOLDMYN]

Tammy Wynette

 

[Richard Davis]

Annie Haslam - Renaissance (when she's not painting vaginas) yes, she is a little coco too
Karla Bonoff - great songwriter and musician
And #1 - Juice (Judy) Newton. There was a video of her from Austin City Limits where she hit some notes that brought the house down. The best that I can find now is below. When you get into your 60's (she will be 70 this year) and you can still sing like this live, you make my list.
