FEMALE VOCALISTS
VA - Great Female Singers in Rock, Pop & Soul (A Butterboy Compilation) (6 x CD's)
Countless women have shaped the history of music and given us wonderful memories to recall. There are many great female vocalists across all the musical landscapes each of whom displayed values that have made them stand out in the music industry. Their voices are noticeable each and every time. Each artist is different from each other and generally with a unique sound that covers originality, range, emotion, versatility, power and lasting popularity.
Here are highlighted 120 of the best female singers from the rock, pop and soul genres. You may not agree with all the choices, and you will definitely ask "what about..." but that the beauty of these type of compilations. There are so many more artist to add to the lists so there will be another set of comps that highlight the ones you may find are missing. There is a jazz voices compilation in the works that will cover a lot of ground missed out here. This compilation focuses on women in Rock, Pop and Soul so I hope you enjoy what is on offer.
