Nancy Wilson, Dinah Washington and Joni Mitchell

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

Great top 3...Nancy Wilson is highly underrated in my opinion.

[@LKaramazov]

I’ve never like Aretha or Ella, but Sarah I love! I also like Betty Carter, don’t know who’s my third.

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

Betty Carter is a very good choice 👌 👏 👍

[@brunolanasantos5604]

Hey Kenny 🙌 How are you? That's a tough one... 😄 1° Aretha Franklin 2° Billie Holiday 3° Dinah Washington Honorable Mention: Sarah Vaughan Ella Fitzgerald And my top 3 brazilian female singers since I'm brazilian 😄 1° Elis Regina 2° Gal Costa 3° Beth Carvalho Peace and God bless ✌ 🙏

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

All great female singers 👏 👍 💯 🎶...I hope that you are doing well and God bless ✌️

[@matthewrichey8542]

Nice list. How about the top five? Ella Fitzgerald, Barbra Streisand, Linda Ronstadt, Aretha Franklin, and Eva Cassidy. One of my main criteria is the ability to sing different styles at a very high level. Each of these singers (except maybe Ella, but she was just so good) over the course of their career, to one degree or another, sang very different styles of music at very high levels.

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

That's a very good top five for sure and your criteria for your top five is equally as good but I still like Sarah Vaughan 😊😁

[@gustafcederborg9744]

Eva Cassidy's voice is so beautiful

[@tatu8663]

Ella, Billie, Nina. Period.

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

A all star top 3 👏 👍 🎶

[@ricotubbs1]

Without much thought, 1. Minnie Ripperton, 2. Roberta Flack, 3. Dusty Springfield

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

Minnie Ripperton 👏 👍 🎶....what a beautiful voice 😊

[@robertallenread8118]

My Top 3 favorite female singers of all-time: 3- Jane Olivor, 2- Petula Clark, 1- Joni James.

[@robertallenread8118]

Note: I’ve seen all three in concert.

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

That's cool 😎 ....you are truly blessed 😊

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

I like all three with Petula Clark being my favorite from your three

[@ricotubbs1]

Kenny, have you ever done or considered doing a list of your favorite composers? It could be a team of composers (Bacharach & David, Gamble & Huff, Creed & Bell) or a singular composer. Might be worthy of a Kenny's Audiophile ep.

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

Thank you very much for your recommendation...I mentioned some of them in the video that I did with my son.

[@tenacious2224]

To answer your question. Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, and Jo Stafford.

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

All three were fantastic 👌 👏 🎶

[@thomashertl3037]

Great selections, Kenny. I find it hard to rank these ladies. My favs are Ella, Sarah, Billie, Nina, Julie L. and more contemporaries like Cassandra Wilson, Valerie Joyce, Anne Bisson, Melody Gardot, Jacintha, Cecile McLorin, Lizz Wright…

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

I love your modern singers list, especially the Cassandra Wilson choice 👌 👍.

[@gustafcederborg9744]

Have you heard Eartha Kitt , Kenny? I think you might like her voice

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

Yes I have, I only have one of her albums but she is very good.

[@tenacious2224]

I like your Aikido books, Kenny. Have you trained? I've done some. Just a couple of years. I'm principally a Shotokan guy. It's where I started as a kid.

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

I am self taught. I wish I had lessons. I've been into it on and off for about 30 years or so. It's a beautiful and graceful martial art.

[@alanjerram9258]

Hello Kenny, that Sarah Vaughn George Gershwin Songbook album cover is beautiful. Your album collection is sublime, I enjoy just looking at all the stuff you have.

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

Thank you very much 😊 ✌️

[@mdit21]

Can't stand "Alone Again (Naturally)" no matter who sings it.😅 I see your point (about the song). Ella, Etta, Aretha, Sarah, Billie, Nina... They are royalty in vocals for sure. My personal favorite is a lady who wasn't as established (as one may think) and had a very limited solo attempt (but I believe had potential), Florence Ballard.

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

Florence Ballard, I must agree.... It's a shame that she had personal issues and addiction issues because she was a beautiful lady with great potential that was never realized.

[@clap7777]

Hi Kenny! I almost had a three-fer with my guess before you started showing your top 3. I guessed, Ella, Sarah, and Billie Holiday. Great review of the female legends. I forgot Aretha...classic queen from Detroit, which is where I live close to in the mitten state of Michigan. Great vid, thanks for the great vinyl picks! P.S. I thought we were getting an Akido lesson with your background.....hahah!

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

😊😁 Thank you very much for noticing the books in the background...Billie Holiday is a great singer and she is in my top 10.

[@shimtest]

I love to listen to Ella. She was supposedly a dear person too, wish I could have met her

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

She was great 👍 👌 👏 🎶

[@lyndellwilliams5890]

My list in no particular order would be Shirley Bassey, Chakka Kahn, & Patti Labelle. The reason being, is I think they were serious about the art of singing to last a lifetime. Patti Labelle also dabled in the jazz world. She has a (Jazz in you) song & she did a live performance on the Steve Harvey show if you want to check it out. There's some others like Minie Ruperton I could have mentioned, but she didn't get a chance to be a lifelong performer.👍

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

Patti Labelle is in my top 10 and Chakka Kahn is great. I love the dramatic voice of Shirley Bassey...great choices 👏 👍 🎶

[@amosperrine1909]

Billie Holiday, Lew Wiley, Shirley Horn.

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

I am not familiar with Lew Wikey...I'll try to listen to her soon.

[@timessquarerecordscom1469]

The pure mono cartridge sound 👍

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

👏 👍 💯 🎶

[@zenontenorio2062]

Adoro as três cantoras que você mencionou e também outra que poucos mencionam que é a Lee Wiley. Tenha uma ótima semana (Zenon from Brasil)

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

Thank you very much for your comments Zenon and thanks for watching my videos from Brasil 😊

[@LKaramazov]

You have SO many records! Do you ever get to listen to them twice. Do you have the live album Sassy swings the Tivoli?

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

Some records I have listen to multiple times, others once and some I have not listened to them yet. I do not have that record that you mentioned.

[@bigjuan4u]

Don’t have a lot of female singer jazz in my collection, but my favourite is the Nancy Wilson collaboration with George Shearing.

[@jeromeburoker1770]

Kenny, I don't usually reply to videos, but you've got me running off at the mouth twice in one day. What can on one say about the "First Lady of Song" as Sinatra dubbed her? I was fortunate enough to see her live in the late 70's at the Seattle Opera House w/ Joe Pass & Oscar Peterson, simply great, but it seemed a very odd venue for jazz. Also was a big Aretha fan I remember her back-up band in the late 60's - King Curtis, Cornel Dupree, Bernard purdie, Billy Preston. Never saw Sarah Vaughn, but remember she was always his favorite. My favorite since the mid-70's has been the vastly under rated Patti Austin (Quincy Jones & Dinah Washingtn's god daughter)

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

I agree with you about Patti Austin, she is awsome. I appreciate your comments tremendous 👏 👍 💯

[@jeromeburoker1770]

[@wadecottingham]

Ella updated the Cole Porter songbook with a great album that was issued with 2 different titles "Ella Loves Cole", and then later it was reissued as "Dream Dancing".

[@hendrixpd1]

#1 Ella Fitzgerald, then comes the rest like Aretha Franklyn, Chrissie Hynde, Janis Joplin just my favorites for sure. But boy of boy ELLA.

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

Nice mentions 👏 👌...Janis Joplin was fantastic 👌 👏

[@ArtiArti-hh3lo]

My list: 3. Sarah Vaughan, 2. Billie Holiday, 1. Nina Simone.

[@cornelsanders2878]

My list per my collection is Aretha Franklin, Randy Crawford, and Etta Jones

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

Randy Crawford is a great choice and I have Etta James in my top 10.

[@cornelsanders2878]

@@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews I also would put Etta James in my top 10 but Etta Jones goes in my top 3

[@Curlywhitedog2017]

Kenny man I’m with you on that song “alone again naturally….” Is terrible no matter who sings it. Hahahahaha!!!!! Half those Sarah Vaughan records looked like James Brown. Maybe James Brown looked like Sarah Vaughan lol. I like Nina Simone the best.

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

Nina Simone was fantastic 👏

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

.....I do think that Sarah Vaughan and James Brown could have passed for brother and sister 😁

[@carjo512]

hello Kenny , here are some of mine Ella Fitzgerald. Sarah Vaughn,Nina Simone , but I love Dainah Washington , and Bessie Smith

[@otisroseboro5613]

A Nice Collection 😊

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

Thank you 😊

[@willieluncheonette5843]

all three of your choices are wonderful. I don't like to use the word "best" I prefer "favorite" Some of my favorites are Janis Joplin (was lucky enough to see her live at the Fillmore East...OMG !! What a show!!) Chrissie Hynde, Penelope Houston (singing with The Avengers) Martha Reeves, Arlene Smith (The Chantels)

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

If I was to use the word "Favorite" instead of "best" then my top 10 list probably would be very different. My top ten best would be based on the most talented singers and my top 10 favorites would best based on other elements outside of singing talent.

[@willieluncheonette5843]

@@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews Yes, Billie Holiday is probably not the "best" singer since I think she had only a 2 octave range but she is truly a wonderful singer.

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

For sure 💯 🎶...she was great 👍

[@fredlennon5937]

1. Ella 2. Billie 3. Peggy Lee

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

Billie Holiday is one of the greatest singers ever and she is in my top 10 for sure.

[@lotharhofmann7902]

I think you should hear Judith Durham from The Seeker, maybe "The Best" ever. Fantastic!

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

I have some Seekers albums and she was very good 👏 👍

[@pinkrudy]

Just took a listen to ella, sarah and aretha. imo i prefer Lauryn Hill. Killing me softly alone is better than anything the others tried to do. This is just for me. unfortunately lauryn's career was cut short. Also ella, aretha and sarah have many audiophile recordings. Lauryn Hill is from the late 90s early 2000's so her stuff isnt as well recorded unfortunately.

[@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews]

Although Lauryn Hills version of the song is great, like Roberta Flacks version better...but Luaryn Hill is great.

[@pinkrudy]

@@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews i love Roberta Flack id place her above ella and aretha sarah also. im not a fan of jazz or easy listening type of music. Roberta's version of killing me softly is awesome but lauryn hill puts a bit more emotion and takes it to a slightly higher level imo.
