She was kind of unusual, but I liked Cyndi Lauper. She had a heck of a voice too. She did some really nice songs and when I saw her do Money changes everything on MTV I was impressed with her stage show. She had the real New York twang.

A lot of Ronstadt fans here, well, I'm one too. I love her "Back in the USA in which she had one of the greatest backup groups of all time (see how many you recognize.)
Her duet with Aaron Neville has to be the greatest duet in pop music of any flavor. I thought I put it on the playlist for our 50th anniversary party but somehow I didn't...oh well.

Ann Wilson deserves mentionComment

The nice thing about a thread like this is you not only are reminded of really fine singers you've forgotten like Suzy Bogguss but also others you've heard of but never actually heard like Kate Bush. Speaking of this Bogguss song, I'm a sucker for a good Rodeo song.Last edited by Art; 11-09-2023, 07:00.Comment

My first introduction to her was off the "Common Thread" Eagles covers album, which really deserves mention.
Her take on "Take It to The Limit" not only respected the original- she gave it some life that The Eagles couldn't on vocals.
That album should be required listening for anyone- there's other female artists on there well worthy of note.

Most of the singers listed here, I have never heard of their names nor have I ever heard their songs.
Kitty Wells, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette, Reba McEntire. Are 100X more talented!Comment

Irving Berlin wrote a song a long time ago during the first world war, 1918, and it lay unpublished until a girl singer convinced him that she wanted to sing it. It became a big hit and rivals the National Anthem on popularity. Kate Smith sang "God Bless America" and the song is credited to her as her trademark song.
All the singers above came much later, but I'll bet everyone of them sang Kate Smith's song at one time or another. No matter who sings it, if it is sung seriously, I get goosebumps.Comment

Ella Fitzgerald, born in my city and just a couple of miles from where Wolfman Jack started his career...Comment

Ahhh, Wolfman Jack. Used to listen to him in the evening on the radio as we cruised around town. The station was only available at night and came from a high powered transmitter.
Anne Murray is one of my favorites.You can never see too many Sun Rises nor enough Sun Sets.Comment

How can you know that if you've never heard them?Comment
