Women in Music

[Scud49]

Can be solo artists, song writers, lead singers of groups, notable guitar players, any genre, any time period.

Let's give these fantastic ladies some love and the credit they deserve.

I'll lead it off with Bonnie Raitt:

This is the first song I can remember from Joan Baez and it's still a favorite. She worked at the Perkins School for the Blind in Watertown, Ma. and also sang in Harvard Square, where she first gained notice. What an angelic voice she has.

Reba

And now for a more current angelic voice, from Norway. Sissel might have the clearest, most lifting voice I can think of.

 

[Kaizen]

I'm gonna come back later. This thread has limitless possibilities.

Maria McKee...limitless energy.

 

[Kaizen]

Another version "I am a Women".

Carole King - the brilliant singer/songwriter. This one is Snow Queen - fantastic melody and piano solo:

 

[Hoops66]

Brings chills every time...

 

[64Zcode]

Annie Lennox, a horn section, and fierce backup singers.
Skip to the 1:00 mark to avoid the video intro 'stuff'.

Oh! Suzanna ( Rare ) ( 1848's Cover by CONNIE FRANCIS )

Patti married some guy named Bruce. She had a couple solo albums.

 

[Scud49]

Emmy Lou Harris - singer, songwriter, and I think no one sings Pancho and Lefty like she does:

 

[bantamlaker]

Grace Slick

 

[Hoops66]

Deborah was/is something else, and that mouth harp thingy steals the song...
