So many to choose from but i would choose Etta James & Aretha Franklin.

Re: Best two female singing voices....?

Can I add Janis Joplin?

A pale imitation of Etta James IMO. (Double entendre intended. )

I would have to say Roberta Flack. The most touching female singing voice I have ever heard. For me she's a 10/10.
As previously mentioned, Karen Carpenter, also a great voice but by comparison to Ms Flack an 8.5/10.

Interesting that by far the majority of fav female voices emanate from white ladies - whereas the majority of male fav vocal cords are owned by our black brethren.
(Tried hard to express this according to current PC protocol - and prolly failed)

I certainly didn’t deduce ‘majority’ from those listed.

Joni Mitchell, Nina Simone and Siouxsie Sioux for me

No Whitney?

Some brilliant suggestions above mind

Whitney Houston is dreadful in my opinion. Karen Carpenter was marvellous as was Dusty. Annie Lennox is another of my favourites. Brenda Lee could bang ‘em out as well.

Are we talking duets or just the best two female singers?

If the latter then for me:

1 - Emmylou Harris
2 - Joan Baez.

If you don't know them, give them a go.

Cilla Black and Lulu.

I’m struggling to imagine how bad a duet that would be.

Whitney’s mum was pretty good though Cissy Houston - Aretha’s backing singer.

I love this performance by Sister Rosetta Sharp. Born in a town called 'Cotton Plant' in Arkansas, she is playing, a tad incongruously perhaps, at a disused railway station in Manchester. I hope it will cheer up the miserable buggers on here for a few minutes at least

I first saw that video on one of the BBCs very good music documentaries and had to wind it back three off four times because I couldn’t believe what I was watching - I’m sure that’s one of my mum’s old coats.
