I was very sad to hear that about Linda Ronstadt, I didn't even know she was ill. I guess I need to get out more.
Anyway I just got this album and it is great if you like easy listening Jazz and female vocals.

Recently listened to Sarah Vaughan Live at Mr. Kelly's and More. Amazing voice.

Will have to check out her recordings. Thanks.
 
Another top performer: Patricia Barber and her jazz quartet. Cafe Blue. Companion.

I've been on a bit of a Nightwish kick, so I'mma say Floor Jansen. I love that she can do the poppy songs and the classics from Tarja's time.

Anybody here like the group Heart? Bonnie Raitt?

Well, I like Alison Krauss singing Heart. Does that count?

 

 
(apologies for the screener version - there used to be an excellent quality rip of this performance posted on Youtube, but it seems it has now either been removed or deliberately damaged, presumably by copyright minions...)
 

 
 
And yes, I like Bonnie Raitt, too

it counts, man.

Listening to Ain't Got No/I Got Life (Groovefinder remix)... So, uh, Nina Simone. Obviously. I'm sure she's been mentioned.

Well yes but it never hurts to mention her again and again...she is that great. One of the best singers male or female I have ever heard.

Imelda May.

I'll have to give that a listen. I heard Susanna Phillips since the vocal part in Mahler Symphony #4 last night at San Francisco Symphony! Absolutely loved her voice.

Her voice is insane. Has an old school 1930's/40's feel to it.
