Topic: Greatest Female Artist

This is a continuation of the discussion over on the Beyoncé thread.

Names of your favourite all time female artist(s). All genres included.
I think the limit should be, your Top 5 but if you want to mention more.... feel free!

Re: Greatest Female Artist

Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, Bonnie Raitt (2 t's) wink , Whitney Houston come to mind. I'm sure there is another out there that I'm not thinking of at the moment.

Oh, just thought of another.....Tina Turner. smile

Joe is the Best!

Re: Greatest Female Artist

Eleanora Fagan. (That'll be Billie Holiday to most of you).

Re: Greatest Female Artist

I don't know if I can come up with 5 but here are a few that have been overlooked.....Donna Summer...she sang disco...but did have a great voice. Patsy Cline....sang country...but I won't hold that against her...great pipes. but I guess my 5 would be:
Aretha
Annie Lennox
Chrissie Hynde
Janis Joplin
Pat Benatar
....and Brack has given me an idea for another little poll about the "Best" category which I will be posting soon.

Re: Greatest Female Artist

I always have trouble doing lists - who to put in, who to leave out - so I'd agree with many of the choices here if it's the greatest you're after.

But, for me, someone whose voice always makes me feel all funny inside is the beautiful Kate Rusby.
