Currently, I'd have to go with Beth Hart.

All time? That's tough. I need to think about it...

Beth is an outstanding singer and performer. I had the pleasure of mixing monitors for her at a show a couple of years ago. She embraced me in a big sweaty hug as she came off stage in appreciation for the nice stage sound I gave her. An unforgettable highlight of my life!
Her live album "Front And Center" is wonderful and a regular listen here.

I am new to Beth Hart, and after listening to several songs, I can see why she
would be on a best-of list. 'Leave The Light On' a great song, plus she's an ace on the keys!

My current favorites are below, modern church music from a retreat center in Colorado that teaches
audio/video production, with productions released at the end of retreats (16 and 30 minutes long.)

Followed by Steffany, from three locations over several years, and Taya from Hillsong down-under.

In more secular arena, Both Imogen Heap and Joss Stone have been
a source of encouragement to me over the years.

I'm really into Lights right now, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJG1Zjl ... &index=18

My favorite track is Outdoor Sports, 6:55

Floor Jansen

So many who are gone already (like for instance Billie Holiday),
and who are still around (like for instance Youn Sun Nah),
just to name a few...

... but since these are all kind of unreachable for me personally, I prefer these who I can still work with myself. During the last 3 years, some were for instance:

https://www.wikiloops.com/artist/AnneCozean.php

https://www.wikiloops.com/artist/marmotte.php
https://www.wikiloops.com/artist/YuuLi.php
https://www.wikiloops.com/artist/OKO.php

plus occasionally some others who are on other platforms, but that's the exception...

Last August I bought an upright bass finally, and in some situations I think that leaves more room for vocalists to "breathe" - as an example, here I'm with OKO from above:

Janis Joplin, by a landslide. Great voice, real soulful singing. No woman ever sang the blues like her.

Amy Winehouse coulda been great too but, unfortunately, her drug abuse got a lot more notoriety than her singing. By her own making.

Whitney Houston was also very good although she sang a bit too many silly pop songs.

That's all I can think of for now.

Hello,

Madonna is my favorite female vocalist.

Never heard of her... but just listened to "Soft Revolution". Very nice! Thanks for the tip!
