Woman vocals - suggestions

[tmkirst]

The earlier suggestion of Jo Stafford spot on.

Elizabeth Fraser

The Staves - originals  = earwigs. Covers of Sufjan Stevens should not be missed (Chicago):

More appreciation for Dessa here - lyric excerpt from "5 out of 6", from the album "Chime"

 

...And I'm running a tight ship
Every deckhand here has a five-year plan
And a ice pick

They can write code, they can drive stick

I got an octave on you and a high kick...

By pop standards this song is a bit dated.  Very minimal backing and the stunning vocalist saw it get remixed a ton.  This live version is more sultry than most but was the best example of her natural voice I came across in a short youtube search.

 

 

Good call - London Grammar is guilty of having taste. Does a good job with "Wicked Games"

Like this a lot. Thanks.

 

Another choice, below:

 

Parra for Cuva in the foreground and is super cool. Nice rendition that (technically) fits the thread, kind of a forgettable female vocal but the package works for me....
