Doris Day had a powerful instrument and knew how to use it. Pure, clean and true. It's a shame that she got pigeon holed into novelty tunes. Her earlier stuff was incredible. If we're talking current vocalists, I like Anna Nalick,

And she sings good too!

Absolutely

She really hit her peak (vocally) before her movie career took off.

Her movie debut, Romance on the High Seas, is my favorite because, well for one she was an absolute doll and they gave her real songs to sing.

I certainly don't want to get caught up into a "who's best" contest, but this is a great clip of an early version of Stormy Weather by the great Ethel Waters:

The few I will add
older
Abby Lincoln
Her version of Afro Blue is fantastic if you can find it.

Joni Mitchell

Carole King

newer
Jenny Lewis
She is in the band Rilo Kiley. She also did a solo album and one with the Watson Twins.
Her album with the Watson Twins has a Dusty Springfield feel to it.

Amy Millan with her solo stuff and with her band Stars.

Maria Taylor another favorite female singer/soloist.

*I know Emmylou Harris has been mention but I just wanted to add my favorite song of hers. When she was playing with Gram Parsons and did Love Hurts. IMHO it was the best version of the song hands down.

ok, rant off
