Kate Bush for me,the voice of an Angel on helium and she wrote and produced her own material.
Every album she made is worth checking out.

I agree Insidia.But why hasn't she ever been 'awarded' by the Queen?.Surely,she should have been made a Dame by now?.If i could meet one person who's famous,it'd be her.Apart from Colin McRae that is.I can't believe he's gone......

for me it has to be the late, very great Dusty, her voice still sends shivers down my spine.

Leona Lewis, winner of last year's X Factor.
Leona has an amazing voice, I could listen to he forever.

Dusty Springfield was great so I will vote for her.

none of the above

I voted Annie Lennox slightly over Dusty but wonders were Cher was

I forgot about Alison Moyet (real first name Genevieve, which she should have stuck to).

Only she could sing 'Invisible' and 'Nobody's Diary' so perfectly.

.

I think Petula Clark had the best voice of any English singer.

Liz Fraser, Shirley Collins or Kate Rusby.

I'm surprised you didn't say Sarah Harding!

Annie Lennox

and she's Scottish

id say amy winehouse

A lot of people are saying Annie Lennox. I'd agree, but I think she was at her peak on the Eurythmics albums "Sweet Dreams" and "Touch" when she had that whole brazen, harsh, androgynous, shaven-headed S&M thing going on, with material which showed off her voice thrillingly. I've heard some of her recent stuff and the music's flabby and lifeless, all drippy, slow karaoke-style numbers. She covered "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" and made it sound like background music for a sanitary towel advert. I sincerely hope she breaks out of her M.O.R. rut soon and makes some sleek, brash pop once again.

Great vocalist....but she does come from Baltimore!

I'm tempted to say Sandy Denny. Her vocals on both her solo work, and with Fairport Convention were supreme. She also sang in a pure folk style, unlike many of the current crop of UK vocalists who try far too hard at being R&B or Jazz vocalists from the south side of Chicago or Muscle Shoals.

Sandy Denny must be considered among the very best. Celia Humphris too.

Indeed, the wonderful Trees!

When choosing Sandy Denny i gave serious consideration to Maggie Bell.
