Does a similar thread exist?


I’m particularly interested in those outside the jazz or blues vein (We can all agree on Vaughn, Fitzgerald, Holliday, Simone, Smith, Rainey, and so on and on, right?)

I like:

Carla Bozulich (Geraldine Fibbers)
Chan Marshall
The singer from Young People
Laetititia Sadier
PJ Harvey

Also:
I haven’t heard enough, but the woman from The Gossip has some pipes.
Although she fucking rots, I still like Liz Phair’s vox on Exile

And Canadian Chanteuse Celine Dion would sound amazing falling down a long flight of concrete stairs, the back of her head splitting open and the vitreous humor in her bug-eyes bleeding into her pea-sized brain. . . sublime.



More, , ,

Patty Waters (Sorry, broke the Jazz rule..Or did I??....!...)

Annette Peacock (I did it again, kind of.)

This is the only footage I've ever seen of her (about 4 min. from the beginning).

Karen Carpenter (Not Jazz, great singer)

Linda Perhacs (Folk / Psych explorer)

Dorothy Moskowitz ( Psych / Folk chanteuse from the band United States Of America)

Mimi Parker (should sing more at Low shows)


...and all of The Shaggs.

Neko Case
Simi (suffrajett)
VV/alison (the kills/discount)
Holly Golightly
Beth Orton

I second Chan and offer up Ann Wilson and Chrissie Hynde.

The woman who sings for the Cranes... Man is she weird.

We are discussing vocal ability and nothing else.
