Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room Best female voice ?

I agree with the Karen Carpenter choice too, but like Amy Winehouse the music is not for me. Having said that, if they sung in the type of music I like it would probably compromise their vocal talent anyway.

Another wonderful voice is Dionne Warwick.

great choice, i'm a big regina fan too.

Julia Fordham

or Liz Fraser

or

Tracey Thorn

Im also adding Sam Brown, daughter of '60's singer Joe Brown.

Great song and video, just wish she had more hits.....
