Aretha with Gladys a runner up.
ive always liked gladys knight
Diana Ross
Think it would be between the first 2 or 3, Seen a TV show Tina did was very good. She did Proud Mary.........stick my neck out and say Aretha though...........lol
I'd have to say Aretha is &
I'd like to tie her w/ Tina because she has soul w/ a rock n roll edge to it.
But one lady that definitely had soul was Phyllis Hyman, I absolutely love her voice. It's a shame she's gone; she was a talented singer & classy as well. When she sang you could hear what she was feeling in her soul.
I would add Diana Krall, Julie London, Peggy Lee and Dinah Washington to your list. And I would vote Dinah Washington.
Who isn't? But there is a lot of R&B, Blues, and Pop in there. Phyllis Hyman is the soul singer that I think of, but I would have put Etta James first, because she was my first fave. Aretha Franklin? You can't make me decide this one tonight.
You forgot Nina Simone...
u hav some good ones, but Aretha:)
Aretha Franklin.
Etta James, at least for me...............
At last my love has come along
Sunday kind of Love
I just wanna make love to you
I've been lovin you to long
..............those are some beautiful songs, and I love Aretha and Gladys.........but Etta brings a tear to my eye and touches my soul every time I hear her belt out a tune! She's been under-rated. I think her voice is powerful! as powerful as Aretha's.
