THE best female vocals? (your favorite female singers)

Also a big fan of this album! Took me quite a bit of searching to find
an online vendor selling a legitimate lossless copy of the acoustic album (the label does not appear to concern itself with overseas sales), but I eventually located it here if anyone is interested: http://www.junodownload.com/products/boy-mutual-friends-acoustic/2284988-02/

  Wow, really liking those Elin Bell songs.  Anyone find anywhere to buy them?

 
A quick google search turned up this.   As far as i can tell she's only officially recorded that one song, though she seems to be signed to columbia, so there must be more on the way.
 
There is another Elin Bell singer so searching can be tricky.

Just found this thread, so I'm sure some if not all of these vocalists have been posted already but they are my favorites:
 
Ella
 
Billie Holliday
Peggy Lee
Astrud Gilberto (who can forget The Girl From Ipanema)
Flora Purim
Holly Cole
Claire Martin
Patricia Barber
Madeleine Peyroux
 
Gee, can you tell I like female jazz vocalists.  Not to discriminate, I like jazz without vocals too.

I was idly surfing Nat King Cole SACD remaster rips on youtube, earlier, and happened to stumble upon this, in the side-links, from 'The Voice', Russia - it's a bit OTT, but nonetheless, this lass can really sing...
 
 
 
 
 
The most obvious similarity is to Aretha Franklin.
 
Not quite the same, stylistically, but decent pipes on these ladies, too:
 
Patti LaBelle
Ann Peebles
Bettye LaVette
Alice Russell
Laura White
Hope Murphy
Kiah Victoria
