Great female vocalists

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:
