Best female vocalists of all time

[witchhunt]

How about The Andrews Sisters? I can still hear my grandma singing along to some of their tunes.

The Andrews Sisters' Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy has some amazing vocals. I think I'll go listen to it now.

since this IS a thread about favorite female vocalists, so I guess performance and feel and emotion don't play as much of a part in the choosing of your favorite as going strictly on vocal quality does

Well...which is it? The topic thread title is "BEST", not "FAVORITE" vocalist. My choice for "BEST" would be very different than my favorite...Maria Callas maybe. Where's that grammar-police guy??

Hey Mista Wiggus, how ya be?!

If we're going for class - Renee Fleming, too!

And yes, OF COURSE, kd lang! No smoother voice anywhere!

I totally forgot about k.d. You're right, one of the best voices ever.

I've only heard Trace sing once, but she belongs on this list as well.
