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. She’s the woman who sang back up to Led Zeppelin’s Battle of Evermore. Here she’s transcendent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAn9aD6U9mY

Her biggest ā€˜hit’ might be this:

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

Here’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 Knee’. 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, I’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.
