Favorite Soothing Female Vocalists?

Roberta Flack - I Can See The Sun In Late December

Catherine Howe, Karen Carpenter are a couple of other examples.

First thought was Enya. Dido.

Emily King

Gretchen Lieberum - You Closer

oops

Marilyn McCoo from the Fifth Dimension.

Maddy Pryor. Yes, she’s soothing to me. I don’t like too smooth a singer. It actually irritates me.

Lee Wiley, although you could argue that she swings too much to be “soothing.”

Norah Jones
Come Away With Me

Yes 1000x.

Catherine Howe - It Comes With the Breezes

Julee Cruise

Elizabeth Fraser and Lisa Gerrard.

Rita Coolidge

Ella Fitzgerald
Norah Jones
Astrud Gilberto
Mary Ford
Jane Monheit
Diana Krall

Carol Wellsman

Sandy Denny:

Fairport Convention - Who Knows Where The Time Goes

This one is certainly soothing:

Go To Sleep You Little Baby

Emmylou Harris, Gillian Welch and Alison Krauss

Definitely.

Lana Del Ray has the perfect soothing voice. Here’s the video for Video Games.

Agggggghhhhh. HATE Norah Jones. Little nepotist faux-jazz performer who’s tricked other faux-jazz performers into thinking she’s a jazz performer. Her first album made me puke, and I haven’t listened to her since.

Uh, I realize I’m in a minority, tho.
