    Good call here... In the same vein I'd add Tracey Thorn of "Everything But The Girl"... Very sultry.

    GG,
    Agree on many of your list, so sad to say there are a few I don't know.
    And while some (Della, Sarah, Aretha) live on with the likes of Ella and Billie, others like Peggy "You Give Me Fever" Lee are all but forgotten/ unknown now.
    Two I'd add would be Ruth Brown and Nina Simone.
    More later,
    Tour...
