A couple weeks ago I said my favorite musical instrument is the electric guitar but my favorite thing in the world to listen to is the female voice. I mean what can you say the female voice has it all including being soothing, sultry, sexy, smooth, seductive, sensitive, sensual, sincere, silly and that’s just the “S’”. The female voice just soothes the savage soul within me like nothing else can. I will not even attempt to list my favorite female singers because the list will be too long and I know I will forget some I wanted to post. I love hearing the female voice in every genre of music from classic opera to country music even though I like very few male country performers. I’ve added more videos that I usually do to a music post but I could add hundreds more.
Jill Scott
Nina Simone
Sarah McLachlan
Dixie Chicks
Keiko Lee
Sarah Brightman
Sade

I can’t let a music thread go by without posting as rainhas da musica brasileira.
Gal Costa’s voice is like a bell.
I’m so glad you turned me onto her a while back. She is fabulous.

This is not the happiest song from Billy but was a fact of her everyday life back then. With the forming of the raging, racist teabaggers, I thought it was good to remember this time and pray that it never happens again.
Sing it Billy!
She was truly one of a kind.

Didn’t she spend much of her time in Europe because of rascism here in the US?
Report comment
Indeed she did. She was a superstar in Europe but those days, in America…

Such a powerful song.
On lighter note, here is one of my favorite Billie Holiday songs:
Love this and this one that she wrote.
Wow.

Ms Peggy Lee
I also love Origa’s haunting voice. She’s a Russian singer that does allot of music for Anime and she collaborates with Yoko Kanno to produce an awesome sound like here.
Wonderful!

One of the most under appreciated jazz female singers in our time Susannah McCorckle. Her life story was so tragic. She was a breast cancel survivor and suffered depression. She eventually took her own life at age 55.
One more old from the old school
Love Doris Day !!
I am such a huge fan of Doris Day. Her movies with Rock Hudson are some of the funniest films ever made.

KQ, I left the link for the Corinne Bailey Rae song, there are now so many videos that can’t be embedded. What a drag.

Hiya Hito!
More and more people are coming onto the site, which is great!
Except for our dial-up and it’s starting to crawl earlier tonight, which is also great because it means more people are here to have fun!
One of these days, or months or years they’ve got to bring DSL up here, but until then, I will bid you all good night and wish I could watch the debate but this dialup is at a snail’s pace and rather annoying!
Have fun everyone!
