Another vote for the superb Kate! :) I love pretty much all of her early stuff.

Alison Moyet - I adore Only You. I once heard someone describe it as the perfect pop song.

Dusty Springfield - Going Back. Oh, that song is so beautiful.

Agnetha Flatskog has always been an excellent singer.
A female singer i have recently discovered,who has a beautiful voice,is Carla Bruni,the supermodel and french presidents wife.

I get more and more impressed by Marilyn Monroe as i get older.I think she had a beautiful voice on record.

Karen Carpenter. My favourite song of hers is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CsfMRH2iS4

Harriet Wheeler (The Sundays). SO difficult to choose a favourite, but probably this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_fmcecsD0Y

Not quite on the same plane as the first two, but I also like Maggie Reilly who worked with Mike Oldfield a lot and did some nice solo albums and a brilliant one in the 70s under the band name Cado Belle.
