Sensual, Lush Female Vocals

[Dr. Bill Kobb]

{Since we have such a wide variety of members, I thought I'd pose this question to all.}

As I get older, my fondness for soothing, beautiful female vocal stylings grows, and I was wondering if fellow members can point me in the direction of artists I might have missed that I would appreciate.

For a general idea of some I currently enjoy, think: Kate Bush, Morsheeba, Tracy Chapman, Tori Amos, Samantha James, Cibo Matto, DeadCanDance, The Cocteau Twins. Obviously, there's a wealth of great singers I'm probably missing, so, help me out, here!

Lush, sensual female voices? Yeah, I like em. Especially female versions when shhhh me with their lips ever so close to my bucking pelvis and I moan in my gag and thrash in my bonds...right before they caress me there...over and over and OVER. ^_~

It seems impossible to me that you might have missed out on Barbra Streisand. If, by chance, you have not heard her Higher Ground Album, you are in for a treat.

You also did not mention Karen Carpenter. She fills in several cuts on Saint Peter's mix disc/tape/whatever.

Of course, Karen and Barbra are standard bearers to those of who love the voice of a gifted woman. Beyond their complete works, I can recommend specific tracks only.

Anne Murray -- Just Another Woman in Love.
Duffy -- Warwick Avenue
K T Tunstall -- The Other Side of the World
Rita Coolidge -- I'd Rather Leave While I'm in Love
Celine Dion -- Call the Man
Linda Ronstadt -- The Moon's a Harsh Mistress
Shakespeare's Sister -- Stay
Natalie Imbruglia -- Torn
Janet Jackson -- Again
Idina Menzel -- Brave
Kristen Chenoweth -- For Good
Edie Brickell etc. -- Circle
Fifth Dimension (Marilyn McCoo) -- Last Night, I Didn't Get to Sleep at All
Fergie -- Big Girls Don't Cry
Melissa Manchester -- Don't Cry Out Loud
Vonda Shepard -- Maryland
Julia Fordham -- Love Moves in Mysterious Ways
Missy Higgins -- Where I Stood

Surely even a collection as eclectic as this is strung from a common thread, you suspect. Congratulations on your perspicacity, sir!

YouTube.

I have thoroughly enjoyed several of your posts. I hope this one serves in some small way to repay your many good efforts. Enjoy.

 

[Dr. Bill Kobb]

A fine repayment indeed, sir! I will certainly give another listen to those I'm familiar with and look into those who are new to me! :walkman:

Bonnie Tyler, fools.

The name, Barbara Streisand evokes in me, the image of a raspy voice.

You've never heard Streisand?

 

[Journia]

I've heard of her...I've just never listened to her work, never knew she had work. I always thought she had a raspy voice. Her name sounds so raspy.

 

[Dr. Bill Kobb]

I honestly don't know if she sings much anymore. She was hugely popular when I was a kid. Incredible pipes, but not the type of tunes that typically appeal to me.

You've never heard Streisand?

She has as good a sense of pitch as anybody out there.

De gustibus, non disputandum. In matters of taste, there can be no argument.

Or endless argument. To my mind, it's a damned shame when any listener doesn't treat his ears as well as he can -- whatever his tastes. That goes double for the fairer half.

Lest ye think me mudbound a fragment of treebranch, know that my collection includes Southern Rock, soundtracks, Sinatra, Robbie Williams and room to grow.

Anyway, I forgot to mention Vanessa Williams' The Sweetest Days. And Stephanie Mills' Never Knew Love (Like This Before). And Maryland by Vonda Shepard. And ...

Well, you get the idea.
