Best Female Vocalists

my bf just bought me a CD, I'm pretty sure her name is Melissa Auf Der Maur, or something like that. I heard she was the bassist for smashing pumpkins for a while (could be wrong on that though), but anyways, she's a really amazing bassist, and a really talented guitarist, and I love her voice. on all of the tracks on the CD she does the vocals, bass, guitar, and just has people come in to do backup guitar or keyboarRAB.
 
Most likely Kim Deal is my favorite female vocalist of all time (granted that opinion could easily change). There just has never been such a more angelic voice I have ever heard. Grace Slick would be my runner up. Deborah Harry, Beth Gibbons & Aretha Franklin are also pretty high up on my list.
 
for me, janis is always best. i like her husky emotional voice. grace slick is also my favorite.i like their way of dont sing being like "sexy" or "strong" "cute" women, if you know what i mean
