Props to:
Gladys Knight
Aretha Franklin
Grace Slick (my favorite female rock voice)
Linda Ronstadt (she could sing a wide range of styles)
Janis Joplin (it wasn't what you would call pretty, but she could belt!)
Joan Baez (she did have a pretty voice)
Maria Callas
Leotyne Price (I had a master's class with her once, so she makes my list)
Karen Carpenter (people have forgotten what a good voice she had)
Ella Fitzgerald
Billie Holiday
Nina Simone
Barbara Steisand
Patsy Cline
Edith Piaf
Mahalia Jackson
Sade

and...

Madonna (yes, she actually can sing)


She's not one of my favorites, but a lot of people like Stevie Nicks. I can respect that.

Some of my faves too.....especially Aretha....I legitimately like a crap ton of her songs.....and she was killer in The Blues Brothers.
