[MackemBob]

Mariah Carey pisses arl ower her like.

Mavis Staples.

I think Teed may have the right answer. At 80 years old at the Boiler Shop last year she was absolutely stunning. Soulful, Bluesey and so much power. Amazing.

 

[MackemBob]

Dinah Washington.

 

[Boy]

Honourable mention for Maria McKee, the vocals on that days of thunder song we're class imo. No idea why she didn't seem to have many hits personally.

She was more of an Indy type.
I'm sure she said that she hated the production of Show Me Heaven.
Saw her supporting The Proclaimers in a band called Lone Justice in Summer of 88

 

[Tin Soldier]

Dusty, mama cass, grace slick, sandy Denny, Janis Joplin, Karen carpenter mixture of lung power but all brilliant singers

 

[Abu Dhabi Red and White]

Stevie Nicks all day long

Aye, but what about her singing?

Without doubt Candi Staton.
