Best female singimg voice of the 70s and 80s.

[GophersInIowa]

 

[Ope3]

As far as anthems go, the anti-Houston/Ronstadt, for sure.

 

[swede2]

To this long, distinguished list I'll add Dolly Parton.

Ditto this.

Also yes to Emmy Lou.

 

[Blackhammer]

Karen Carpenter and it isn’t close.

 

[Slim Tubby]

Stevie Nicks and Natalie Merchant for me. Amy Lee is my favorite regardless of the decade.

 

[tikited]

Stevie Nicks is my new #1 all-time. Debbie Harry #2. Ronnie Spector #3.

 

[Roland Brooks]

Ahhh.. Ann Wilson of Heart phenomenal all time voice

 

[Cobra]

Ruby Starr...

 

[Ski U Mah Gopher]

Carpenter & Ronstadt are 1 & 1a, in any order.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Gotta give it up for Ann Wilson of Heart. 80's Heart is some pretty lame music but in the 70's they were all kinds of amazing and Ann was great on both the quiet stuff and the rockers.

If you met Ann you would love her!
