Just heard a song of hers on the radio, "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me": the late, great Dusty Springfield.
Others that resonate for me, at their best: Brian Wilson, Elvis Presley, B.J. Thomas, Andy Williams, Bono, Ray Davies, Louis Armstrong, Bob Dylan, Jeff Tweedy, Judy Garland, Israel Kamakawiwo`ole, Patsy Cline, Brook Benton, Wayne Coyne, Glen Campbell, etc.

The Wilson Brothers
Steve Marriott
Dusty Springfield (my vote for best female)

Black Francis/Frank Black (big time)
John Lydon (that one goes without question)
Michael Stipe (still affecting in the faggy futurez)
Robert Johnson
Kristin Hersh
Alex Chilton
Stuart Murdoch
Donald Fagen
Rivers Cuomo
Captain Beefheart
Edwyn Collins
Chuck Berry
Lou Barlow
Neil Young
Tom Verlaine
Lou Reed
Dave Thomas
Homer Flynn
Kool Keith

Always liked the contrast between Joe Strummer and Mick Jones. Neither on their own completely gets me, but the way the work together throughout an album really gets to you.

You'd have to be a freak for Dusty not to resonate with you... Heartbreakingly beautiful voice... her version of "Anyone who had a Heart" is definitive for me...

Good one, idigworms! Andy had a great voice. Still does, actually. I really enjoy his Christmas music. Not to get off topic, but some Andy Williams trivia for ya - what connection does he have to the Beach Boys? Hint - the answer is two part... |

Homer Flynn Is he the Birthday Boy? That singer affects me. "Happy birthday birthday to me, happy birthday to me" He sings pretty much everything that isn't female or a guest star, obviously. I think Jay Clem or Hardy is on some of that stuff too ("Godsong" does not sound like Homer to me). Could be John Kennedy, but I get the feeling John Kennedy removed himself from the music quite a bit. |

Count me in for some Dusty and some Orbison as well. Bobbie Gentry is new to me still but I could see her grow high on my list.
How about Sandy and Ellen Dedrick?
I suspect as Ian does that one day June Carter will also make my list.
