Women in Music

Mary Chapin Carpenter wrote it but I can't find a clip of her singing it with decent audio.
Wynonna got some mileage out of it, though.

[Scud49]

Mary McCaslin's version of the Beatles "Things We Said Today"

 

[MSGRET]

Shania Twain who I met backstage after one of her shows when she was performing at Caesars Palace.

 

[Monte]

These ladies had a lot of hits ( but I don’t think have shown up in this thread)

 

[Scud49]

Erica Wheeler - the very evocative "Rivers":

 

[Ozimoto]

If this a repeat I apologize. Didn't have time to go through all of the pages.

One of my favorites, and to me the definitive version of this song.

 

[Ozimoto]

The incomparable Mary Black.

A song about emigration that always gets me.

Laura Nyro - As a songwriter had big hits for artists including the Fifth Dimension, Streisand, Three Dog Night, Blood Sweat and Tears,etc. She could also sing. Was living n CT when she died in 1997. Elected R&R Hall of Fame 2012.

 

[Ozimoto]

And then who could forget Anne Murray from Canada?

 

[64Zcode]

Mary Fahl has a distinctive voice, she was the lead singer for October Project and they put out 2 CDs, I think.
Mary went out on a solo career.

Rachel Sweet (16) did a respectable cover of the Carla Thomas hit 'B-a-b-y'.
Carla's version had a small bit in the movie 'Baby Driver'.

Oh banta you keep beating me to some of my fav's...! Good for you. I was going to grab one of Laura Nyro's songs later tonight- but heck I'll just go and give her a nod anyway for another great tune.

I saw her around 1988 in a little music hall here in Indy - loved it, she was a true musical dynamo:

[64Zcode]

One of the pioneer female metal/rock bands.

 

[Hoops66]

Cassidy Janson is a known British actress, who is also quite a singer. This is an amazing rendition of a Louis Prima favorite I Want You to Be My Baby. (With the Jive Aces )

 

[64Zcode]

Shannon Curfman

 

[Littlemin]

Two from a lady who has had great success but is, IMO, much more musically than generally recognized for………

 

[Littlemin]

 

[nwhoopfan]

Okay, I took a deep breath. I was kinda trying to be semi orderly about genre or eras, but maybe I'll just get random.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I don't think she's come up yet, kinda surprising.

 

[nwhoopfan]

 

[nwhoopfan]

I posted something by Michelle Branch. She was reasonably successful as a solo artist. Then out of nowhere she resurfaced as part of a country duo, that really caught everybody by surprise.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I didn't know anything about this band until they appeared as themselves and contributed several songs to the movie 10 Thiings I Hate About You.
