Current female vocalists? If so, Beth Hart: (guitarist is not too shabby either  It doesn't necessarily have to be a current female vocalist! Although I must say, this is a pretty great choice you've selected!

Why are they your favourite? Is it just a stylistic thing, nostalgia, their technical abilities, etc? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Cheers,
Ember

It's a toss-up between Peggy Lee, Linda Ronstadt, Karen Carpenter, Patty Loveless and Miranda Lambert.
Each shares some of the same traits: distinctive singing voice, writes or selects great songs and even their filler songs are worth listening to. You have some really awesome choices there. Especially a fan of Peggy Lee myself. I do agree that your list does all have quite distinct voices. I feel like a lot of female vocalists that are more recent (or on the radio) all sound very similar and it can be hard to tell them apart.
Cheers,
Ember

Hi Ember
Frida Lyngstad and Agnetha Fältskog together or seperate.
They are super troopers when it comes to vocals.They just sang brilliantly no matter what was put in front of them,not just the 30 or so great Abba hits but also the 30 or so average Abba songas and then the 30 or so other type songs .They just sang them so professionally and equally well.Also a major rarity in the sense that they were a female Duo,Hugh This post actually gave me something to look in to and think about. I think I'll go on a little hunt later to try and find more female duos! Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Ember

I can't pick one, because stylistically they are so different. For me, it's:
Linda Ronstadt
Karen Carpenter
Ann Wison
And to round it out to a top five, I would add:
Ella Fitzgerald
Sarah Vaughan
It seems quite a few people agree with you about Linda Ronstadt and Karen Carpenter! What about those you've listed put them in your top five? 
Cheers,
Ember

Connie Francis & Patti Page. (showing my age) I don't think you're showing your age at all! Connie and Patti are both phenomenal singers and are definitely great choices!

Ember

Only one? How about two polar opposites?
Aretha Franklin - great interpretation, high notes as clear as a bell, and plenty of passion.
Shirley Horn - nobody could sing a cool school ballad as slow as she could and make it work so well
I would say these are among my favorites, but how do you have just one? It's like going to huge grocery store and saying "pick your favorite food".
Haha, it seems I keep coming with all the hard questions for everyone! Aretha Franklin -- she is such goddess! I'm surprised you're the first to list her and mention her prowess. Aretha has such an effortless, powerful sound to her voice.
Cheers,
Ember

There are several of my choices that overlap with others’ pick, BUT I was glad to see Eva Cassidy’s name appear (one of Noel96’s choices) because when I heard her sing the Tennessee Waltz and Blues Eyes Crying in the Rain (or anything), I could not believe how so gifted she was!!! Just hated that we lost her at such a young age (at age 32)!!!

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Cecil I actually didn't know that! 32 is an incredibly young age to pass away at. Seems we have lost a lot of female vocalists at young ages ... there have actually been a few articles that have been made about how it seems to happen all too frequently.

Ember

Alison has such a pure sweet but powerful voice and what a talented musician.
It seems quite a few people agree that Alison is great female vocalist. After looking in to her a bit more, I have to agree that she is quite good! There were a few names mentioned here that I hadn't heard before so I've got some research to do later!
Cheers,
Ember

Well Ember, That didnt take too long ,the girls are back.So not alone the greatest but it now seems Frida n Agnetha are the bravest.Dont think id put the reputation on the line like this but fair play to them.I hope the two new songs are a genuine knockout not just sales wise but quality wise. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/04/27/abba-return-35-years-two-new-songs/
