Re: Female Singers

Phew, to pick just 5 female singers is not easy .... though still here goes

1) Dusty Springfield
2) Cher
3) Diana Ross
4) Lisa Stansfield
5) Kirsty McCall/Belinda Carlisl. Sorry I can't decide who is best from those 2 so they are equal at present for me.

Re: Female Singers

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.

Re: Female Singers

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.
