Getting quite a few repeat suggestions now, hopefully that doesn’t mean we’ve completed it?!

HaHa Kopstar… I noticed @Alright_Now is trying to steal your thunder also with Etta James :0)
Probably because he has started at the bottom of the list instead and just plonked it straight in…

I did. I apologize. Tried to keep up but missed a bunch, I’m sure. Sorry about that. I’ll delete.

This thread’s a gold mine. Thanks for setting it up @sandsoftime!. Love the female vocalists. Checking some of these out and reconnecting with some from the past. In the car today grooving on Shirley Bassey Essentials. What a voice. Her early stuff is amazing. So smooth and powerful. Also ran some Kiri Te Kanawa. Probably the most powerful voice mentioned yet. Of course, the opera gals will always win that.

This thread’s a gold mine. Thanks for setting it up @sandsoftime!. Love the female vocalists. Checking some of these out and reconnecting with some from the past.
You are right @El_Dorado, the thread has certainly become a treasure trove of both unfamiliar,
and some better known talent. It is producing a fantastic playlist of songs, singers and voices, in readiness for me also, to further explore the abundance of talent on display. Even when popular artists have been put forward on more than one occasion, it is interesting to note how their singing range can be varied across differing song titles, again, underlining how much talent they possess.
Your appreciation for starting the thread is welcomed, but it is the efforts of the many forumites, here at home in the UK and across the globe, that have taken time to post their favourites, that ultimately, has brought together such a mixed bag for further ‘ear stimulating’ curiosity and insight.
As an aside, the idea for utilising these songs as background music whilst surfing other threads upon the site, has been put forward to @Arminus to unravel the practicalities for same.
To date, its interesting to note - @Maria with Amy Winehouse’s ‘Someone to Watch Over Me’, is joint most popular alongside @Scott.Jones with Dusty Springfield’s ‘Spooky’, both with nine likes.
Closely followed by @ILLOK - The Cranberries - Dreams alongside @ZinedineBiscan + Janis Joplin’s - Kozmic Blues, both have eight number likes each. This list alone is diversity is it not.!

Does anyone know anything about the singer on this arrangement. It’s rare that I like Spanish stuff but this is fantastic.

Yo Flobs. From what I can gather the singer is Sonsoles Silvela.
What is interesting though, the words of the song were written by Federico Garcia Lorca. As you probably know, he was the poet that had a profound effect on a young Leonard Cohen, and hence influenced Leonards consequent works throughout his entire song writing/poetry lifetime.
The above song was LC’s homage to FGL, based upon, and a loose translation of, a FGL poem. It is not the same singer you are chasing down, more a further example of a FGL signature.
FGL, besides being somewhat of a hero in Spain, wrote a poetry book ‘The Gypsy Ballads’.
Hope these extra pointers prove sufficient for any further trawling you do across the internet.

OK, not sure if she’s already been mentioned, she needs to be here as well. Pink

She played at Anfield last year. If I wasn’t working I’d have dragged my gf along to see her
