I’m with you regarding Eva Cassidy. I also like Carmen Gomes.

Tough call there, and a mental challenge. I’m going to abandon any pretense of making a point. Total sincerity dictates I respond Karen Carpenter. If I play Close to You, just to reassure my faith in humanity, I end up listening to at least another dozen tracks to feed my thirst for her beautiful timbre, intonation, style and musical moxie.
Happy listening!

Joni Mitchell
Ella Fitzgerald for a woman , Elvis Presley for a man.
Amen to that! But as I started to know her when her career started (thanks to living in the D.C area), I’m a wee bit biased.
It varies based on the day and my mood, but for today it is Sassy, Sarah Vaughan.
Have you heard Rumor? Brittish gal that sounds a lot like Karen. She did a Live From Daryl’s House, if you want to look her up on Youtube.
cheers,

Grace Potter. Young Janis Joplin with better vocal control.
