Haven't seen Susan Tedeschi mentioned yet.
Her stuff from her band is great, but her vocals
with summertime band/project (with husband Derek Trucks)
Soul Stew Revival are incredible. I think the style of music
fits her voice even better then her music with her band.

In addition, my current playlist includes Diana Krall,
Dido and Natalie Merchant.

Another one not yet mentioned: Alison Goldfrapp.

Oh, and a 2nd for Karen Carpenter (finally mentioned around page 5).

Queen of the Vocal Universe
Take: Marta Gomez![/size]

I'm simply in love with anything and everything that Marta Gomez does ...

A columbian siren who renders me more worthless than a pile of jello any time she breathes ...

(ok, I'll stop)

...

...

She's in the same league as Rebecca Pidgeon and others who have that nameless sort of something that makes for mind numblingly pure and breathy and warm midrange delivery ... and her band is just stupidly and insanely talented.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Marta Gomez's 96khz/24bit .FLACs from HDTracks.com
