Tell us your favorite FEMALE singers/artists.

[Aussiemike]

Mine would be Aretha Franklin, Janis Joplin, and Amy Winehouse. I love the blues.
I watched a great doco on Amy Winehouse a few years ago and really discovered her amazing music then.
Weirdly she wasn't on my radar while she was alive regrettably.
Sadly 2 of them and many other great artist are apart of the 27 club if you don't know about it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/27_Club
