DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Everything Else... Favorite Female Singers

j/c:

I love gospel music. I'm not talking about the message, but I am talking about the power and soul of those who sing it. A lot of my favorite female singers had a background in Gospel music.

Young, black females doing their thing in a church. One of those ladies was Oleta Adams, who has one of the most powerful and clear voices I have ever heard. I'll post a couple of familiar ones, but it goes much, much deeper.





I never have understood why she didn't become wildly popular. She is so far superior to so many that made it big.

Not sure if anyone will listen to those songs, but if you did and liked them.........here is her best one [in my opinion:}



Although, her version of Elton's Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me is pretty impressive, as well.

Nicolette Larsen
Linda Ronstadt
EmmyLou Harris

Always liked her. In her day she was big.

Bobby Gentry

Ode to Billie Joe.

Anybody mention Etta James? She had a great voice, it drew you in.

J/C

1A Whitney
1B Aretha

And I have to say, this may seem odd, but my wife dragged me to one of her concerts this year. I am not a country fan, but the sheer power in her voice in my opinion is up there with the above two. I actually encourage some to really listen to her range and power of her voice. Its rather amazing. A futher down 1C - Carrie Underwood.


Patti and Janis get honorable mention.

Only one mention of Aretha Franklin so far.......?

Gotta do it folks. Just gotta.

I've posted some of her songs before and I think I should post a couple more. Sometimes, music is fun. Caro is fun. She can make you dance even if you can't dance.

I can dance. My dogs? Ehhh.......they love when I dance w/them when Caro is playing. Have a listen, loosen up your backsides, and let your hips do the talkin.'

The beautiful lady with a beautiful voice

Sarah Palin LOL

At least she finally figured out politics wasn't her thing.

I figured all the fine ladies in Nashville would be standin' in line to practice the Tennessee Waltz with PitDAWG...do you do any finesse dancing?

*Biting my tongue to avoid making a politically incorrect statement about her looks*

Actually when I dance it's with my wife. We don't really go into Nashville that much. We go see some concerts and once in a while when there's a new artist we like playing in one of the clubs. Try again....
