Also, just about anything by Diana Krall

 

[zzffnn]

This is one of my favorite genres as well.  There are lots of good recommendations above (esp., The Carpenters, Dianna Krall, Hayley Westenra and Sarah McLachlan).
 
I would add:
Vienna Teng (pop/folk/rock),
Katherine Jenkins (classical-crossover)
Corrinne May (pop)

 

[Achmedisdead]

I cannot believe I am the first to make what would seem to be the most obvious recommendation.....Tori Amos!

Nina Simone for me, please

Laura Nyro is a massive influence on many female Vocalist/Piano artists.
She wrote many hits for other artists in the 60s and 70s- but her work stands on it's own.
