I'm more into the New Age/Celtic. I absolutely adore Enya, Moya Brennan, and Lorena McKennitt.

 

[happyparadox]

Can't be just one. The list is long and wide ranging. Janis Joplin to Karen Dalton to Jessye Norman. Forced to make one choice: Janis or is this restricted to living artists?

 

[dom4sin]

WOW???

Why limit this to just one singer?? Love several of them!!

First of course is Billie Holiday/ Patsy Cline/ Annie Lennox/ Aretha Franklin/ Lindsay buckingham/ Stevie Nicks.......

could go one but these voices make me shiver when I listen to them!!

Can't pick just one! (More like one hundred)

Have to ditto the votes for Kate Bush and Neko Case.
I'd also add Nina Gordon, formerly of Veruca Salt, and Nina Persson, lead singer of The Cardigans.
Good Lord, the pipes on those women...

Of course Nellie McKay, Shawn Colvin, Nikka Costa, Shirley Manson, Linda Ronstadt, Karen Carpenter and Sarah Cracknell (of the Brit pop group Saint Etienne) are freaking awesome, too.
