unless it's already been done to death on a thread before...

Female artists (singular) or Female (girl groups). Starting with "A"-  your favourite-if you had to choose just one - how many could we list?  

for the list...Artist and one track.

someone else can can take up the batton and move us to the "B's" when the "A's", etc, dwindle and fade!

 

 

this one (from the Laugh In girl) might be a wee bit controversial.

 

  

  Laura Greene - Moonlight Music In You.    Not everyone's cup of tea but Big Sound in it's day......    

 

  Double G's for Baz with this Station Road Favourite..... Gerri Granger - I Go To Pieces     

Altrinna Grayson with Bobby Womack:

 

Another G of more recent vintage - Vivian Green:

 

And now for some more catching up, with a few Bs starting with the amazing Sharon Bryant on this Atlantic Starr classic:

 

How could me miss Sheree Brown? Terrific version of a Leon Ware/Minnie Riperton classic:

 

And this is just out of this world - Shirley Bassey:

 

Is this B or A? Vanessa Bell Armstrong:

 

An uplifter indeed...

  Back tracking to the letter F with this great oldie from the Fascinations - Girls Are Out To Get You.  Reminds me of a very popular Pub in town I first started drinking in as a youngster, I would pester the dj who played in the pub most nights of the week for some Northern Soul, he could only ever play the Fascinations because that's the only record he had!

Imagine if a new tune THIS good, turned up today? Like many others, these classics are only appreciated when not heard for yonks...then you truly appreciate them.
