Linda Ronstadt could hit a note and was a hottie in the 70s.

This thread has basically become a list of all female vocalists.

Karen Carpenter has the greatest voice I have ever heard.

Good call, Tom. Her Greatest Hits album is a gem. Really appreciate the voices of Celine Dion, Barbara Streisand, and Aretha Franklin, also.

This is my first time seeing this version of this song and it's my favorite version I've seen with the three female vocalists doing the last chorus together. Damn I've always loved this song and the Rilo Kiley album version is great (it was at the end of an episode of Weeds) but this is a great great live performance.

Mariah and Whitney have to be up there, but who else you got? I’ve always loved Janis but she is a little different.

Linda Ronstadt or Stevie Nicks.
