Best female vocalist album

[Thatch]

Ella Fitzgerald, The Jerome Kern Songbook on Verve. All of the songbooks are great, and the Cole Porter (on LP there where 2 double album sets) are really good, but the Jerome Kern really shines.

okay...Geddy's not a girl; but we need some music on this site or we'll all turn into a buncha damned Duchamps

[StevenW]

Well Geddy is close enough and falls under the same kinda Journey-esque genre.. I saw them 3 times, 2112 and moving pictures twice, Neil Pert? was incredible.

[GlennT]

With that voice, I think the Rush song should have been called "Working Girl", not "Working Man".

Meanwhile here is another fine female vocalist, Moya Brennan from Clannad, with a nice video to go with:

And a live performance of a lesser known song by Heart, "Soul of the Sea", no glitz, just an honest performance that is just as fine as the studio version:

Heres another...and mind Nancy's playing...that particular A minor to F-major has been my nemesis for years (just too damned quick for a metal manglers paws). Evaldart like doom and sludge...the timing is more agreeable.

I dig the Yah Yah Yahs. Abit off beat for some but ripping cool to me. Also the start. Both great bands that have a chick fronting.

I love that video for "off with their heads".
