Silky, Rich, Sentuous, Heart Crushing, Thick, Breathtaking, Wonderful Female Vocals

Looking for something that makes me fall in love. I am thinking something like "Jaimee Paul - At Last" but with more music and more emotion. This will be, with any luck, a go to list for this type of recording.

 

Thanks

The female vocalists that really push my buttons are Keely Smith, k.d. lang and Eartha Kitt. I don't know if you'd appreciate their genres, but they're worth a listen.

how about this:

 

 

Maia of Ladies of the Canyon.

 

and this is coming from someone that really really dislikes twang in anything.

 

I got the album though and I was gutted cos they twangified the song and her vocals are only on 2 tracks, the others are not bad though,...cept for the damn twang.

Sam-Fi, I've got to agree with you, that Jamiee Paul Cd is a real stunner, beautifully sung and well recorded. It's the one I'd suggested had you not put it out there as the bench mark. Here would be my second choice.

While I do like a rich voice I tend to fall for a different character of voice a bit more.

Blossom Dearie is a voice that does trip me up.

Karin from Over The Rhine's voice appeals to me a lot.
