"once in a million years, a lady like her rises."

Stevie Nicks "rhiannon"

Besides Janis Joplin, the greatest.

All my favorites have been mentioned. For historical reference, though, you have to give props to Judy Garland and Julie Andrews.

Sheesh, guys !! Thanks for the pointers to some vocalists that I've never heard before

Since you suggested the country genre, Paul ... it reminded me about:

Patsy Cline

Another vote here for Alison Krauss, her voice will cut right through you. It's what I imagine the voice of an angel would be.

I'm not one that is a big opera fan but this woman, Barbara Padilla, blew me away on America's Got Talent, a show I also do not often watch.

Her singing made me feel this statement by Morgan Freeman's character from Shawshank Redemption when Tim Robbins' character put opera on the prison PA system.

"I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free"
