Was never a fan of the Carpenters, but Karen had a great voice. This lady had a remarkable range as well.

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)

Sarah Vaughan, Stevie Nicks
-
Re: Best two female singing voices....?
Dorothy Squires & Charlotte Church :thumbup:

Definitely not!
Franklin, Springfield, Carpenter were miles better than her.
Hell, a load of X Factor singers were better than her ! :hide:

Re: Best two female singing voices....?
Pick any two from Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan and Aretha Franklin. I can never make my own mind up which of the 3 would be my favourite.
-
Re: Best two female singing voices....?
'Best' is very subjective and down to personal choice.
I've already posted, but could probably post alternative choices throughout the day.

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 :xmasthumbup:

I saw Sister Rosetta Sharp on a blues package tour circa 1963/63. It included Otis Spann, Brownie McGee and Sonny Terry and (what was his name....? Oh. yes...) MUDDY WATERS! Had never seen a woman play an electric guitar before that day. Shattered a few delusions, I can tell you.
Reckon that trumps your occasional viewings of Trower at the Bridgewater Bridge and Social Club, ole fruit...
-
Re: Best two female singing voices....?
Mariah Carey , Adele, and also Ruby Turner.
-
Re: Best two female singing voices....?
Brenda Lee and Nina Simone. Of the more recent ones I have come to like Amy Whitehouse.

I have never seen Monsieur Trower in Bridgwater (not Bridgewater), you name-dropper :-)
I saw Johnny Winter in Exeter and Frome though...

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

A pale imitation of Etta James IMO. (Double entendre intended. :-) )
-
Re: Best two female singing voices....?
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.

I certainly didn’t deduce ‘majority’ from those listed.
Joni Mitchell, Nina Simone and Siouxsie Sioux for me

Rikki Lee Jones had a cute voice

Diamanda Galas and Siouxsie Sioux.

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.

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