Video for their cover of The Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses" on YouTube

"Can't Be Sure" video




I love The Sundays too. "Blind" their second realease is my favorite, one of my all time favorite female pop voices. It's hard to believe it's been 14 years since the release. All 3 are good. I had several of their "videos" from MTV on VHS, I hadn't seen Wild Horses in a long time. Her voice is so sweet.

Female jazz, pop and anything that melts-my-brain-type female vocals is my weak spot.

There are many and some good ones posted so far. A few more...

Surprised no one has mentioned Patsy Kline. May be old music now, but her voice is timeless.
