I use Izotope's Nectar 2 which is a suite of effects just for vocals. There are scores of pre-sets that are great by themselves or can serve as jumping off points if you are of the experimental type. The reverb module is a digital emulation of the old 140 EMT plate reverb which IMO is about as good as it gets. Even though Nectar is a vocal suite I use the reverb module on nearly all of our RT and RD tracks. They have free trial downloads. It's a classy product. FWIW, my approach is to reproduce the "airy" feel that Janice's vocals have in a good room and secondly to, as you alluded to, enable the vocal to blend into the entire soundstage.
