Sade proved to us all that soul isn't about range or power, it's about something much deeper - and smoother. Her vocals are jazzy "Smooth Operator", funky and exotic "Hang on to your love" and most of all packed with passion and soul "Frankie's First Affair".

With "Diva", Lennox established herself as a capable solo artist with no need of a man to tell her the time. It's soul, it's synth-pop, it's pure and it's just lovely. "Why", "Little Bird" and "Money Can't buy it" are among the best of the album's songs, showing Lennox's skill as both a singer and a songwriter.

Grymer, you've got stuff good stuff on here. I see you like blues and motown a lot, and you really like the lady singers.
In fact, you had Janis Joplin at #1, so, I'd like to recommend someone to you that I think you will love, Susan Tedeschi (now of the Tedeschi Trucks Band). Check out her album called "Just Won't Burn". Her voice sounds like an incredible combination of Janis Joplin's and Bonnie Raitt's. She does a couple of covers, including "Mama He Treats Your Daughter Mean" (also sung by Koko Taylor), "Little By Little", and "Angel From Montgomery". Her originals are really good too: "Rock Me Right", "It Hurt So Bad" (if you love Janis Joplin, you will love this), "Friars Point", and "You Need To Be With Me". If you give it a listen, let me know how you like it.

A very nice list! Heavy on the ladies (refreshing to see) and full of artists who evoke genuine emotion.
