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.

ken

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

 

Cissy Houston:

 

And her daughter Whitney, who deserves a proper soul-minded compilation of all her most soulful recordings such as this cracker, her version of the Manhattans tune:

 

Inez Foxx:

 

Elaine and Ellen:

 

Loleatta Holloway on a Bobby Womack production:

 

Tonee Collins of Collins & Collins:

 

Norman Connors' discovery (again) - Antoinette:

 

More Disco than Soul, but still not a bad sound.. Geraldine Hunt - Can't Fake The Feeling  

  ila Van - Can't Help Loving That Man Of Mine    

One more for the G's

And one for the Hs: Dee Heron

 

Post disco disco, or something like that - Ellie Hope:

 

Lisa Deveaux (thanks Roger!)

 

Gayle Adams:

 

Still remembering ladies we shouldn't miss. This one seems to make a living as a Tina Turner tribute act, but her version of the Roy Ayers tune is still tip top - Nova Casper:

 

And of course that track was originally recorded by the Eighties Ladies, who also did this:

 

And one of the members of Eighties Ladies was Marva Hicks:

 

So underrated and so Soulful.

The looks, the body, the voice, the style.

Class lady with a class song.

Margie Coleman:

 

Adriana Evans:

 

Erykah Badu:

 

Rosie Gaines:

 

Keeping this Jugernaut moving, we're starting the "J's".

This is another (maybe) controversial one...but hey there's only a few of us posting, so the chances of anyone seeing it-remote.
