Maria Callas, perhaps the best ever. Not for everyone I suppose but an astounding voice and mastery.

Tiny Desk is the greatest thing ever for discovering new music.

I think I love listening to female vocalists more than any. So my favorites: First, in the pop world:

An all-time favorite is Sandy Denny. Sheā€™s the woman who sang back up to Led Zeppelinā€™s Battle of Evermore. Here sheā€™s transcendent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAn9aD6U9mY

Her biggest ā€˜hitā€™ might be this:

My current obsession is this Norwegian blue grass singer, Rebekka Nilsson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWIaeQFcbYg.

Hereā€™s another track with her. I just love the tone of her voice.

I just discovered her on reading your post. Fantastic voice. Thanks

Courtney Swain of the band ā€˜Bent Kneeā€™. This live rendition of the track ā€œHold Me Inā€ gives me chills every time without fail.

Julie Fuchs is one of my favorite opera singers. It turns out she can also do stuff like this. And yes, Iā€™m in love. https://youtu.be/n7fqdkrTPYY

Hope Sandoval (of Mazzy Star fame) has lately become one of my favourite female vocalists.

This ā€œliveā€ version of ā€œinto dustā€ captures what i like about her voice pretty good.
