If you had to pick one female vocalist that was your favorite, who would it be and why? If picking one is too cruel of me, I would love to hear the ones that battle for your top spot!

I've noticed I listen to surprising lack bands with female vocals, or listen to way more male artists. So I'd love to spread the love and hear what your favorite female vocalists are!


Cheers,
Ember

American: Marilyn Scott. Versatile - can deliver on standards or jazz.
Brazilian: Roberta Sa. Best pitch of any Brazilian singer, since most seem to be slightly flat by convention.

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.

I will give you my top 5. That's the best I can do. In no particular order of preference.

Linda Ronstadt
Ann Wilson
Gloria Estefan
Chaka Khan
Patty Austin

And as a bonus pick, Taylor Dayne.

of course there are many tied for next but I won't list them or this reply will be 5 pages long.


I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.

1. How much did you make in 2023?
2. Send it to us.

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

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

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".

This may surprise my friends, but Nana Mouskouri would be my first choice. She has been been retired for many years but has recorded over 90 vinyl albums. I have a few of them. She proves that music transcends National and language barriers.

Wow! I'm a fan of all the singers given so far.

For me, I tend to think of songs... here are some of many! It's way too hard for me to pick just one.

Eva Cassidy (Over The Rainbow)


Clare Teal (If I Were A Bell)


Whitney Houston (The Greatest Love Of All)


Jo Stafford (Shenandoah)


Dusty Springfield (Yesterday When I Was Young)


Kim Eun-Kyong
with 10 tenors (Pokarekare Ana - Maori Folk Song)

I haven't heard very many Brazilian female vocalists before! I will definitely have to look her up later. Thanks! grin

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
