Documentary on the Carpenters currently on Channel 5. I'd have her second in the the best female voice of all time. Pipped (pun intended) only by Gladys Knight.

And the best female drummer the world has ever seen. That's according to Ringo himself.

Can't really compare Love ballad - Punk,Gothic - Soul - Rock singers. Each to their own.

I agree with Donmentor, can’t really compare with all the different genre out there. A few of my favourites Amy Winehouse , Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin would be in my list.

In order to make comparisons meaningful we need categories, so :-

Female singers

A Classic

B Blues and Soul

C Country

D Ballad

E Jazz

F Rock ( Pre Stones )

G Rock ( Post Stones )

H Heavy ( Mostly all modern crap )

Feel free to add any others.
