Carole King - Tapestry. I have that on vinyl somewhere, not played it in a while.
Must search it out and give it a spin.

My new favourite Icelandic female singer/songwriter - (yes, there is more than one!) - Emiliana Torrini - amazing - not only her music, but that she passed me by the last 9 years since her debut album (produced by Roland Orzabal - I'm now off to dig up "The Hurting" on vinyl...)
Very nice tone to her voice, well crafted melodies - lovely!

I was only recently introduced to this artist by Ian Walker (cheers mate!) and yes, she really is an (almost) hidden gem.Originally Posted by Alex_UK
I am waiting for a CD from Play that I used to have on vinyl...
Suzanne Vega - Suzanne Vega.
Really looking forward to is, also ordered a Moody Blues album which should be good.

A couple more solo females that I highly recommend checking out - three of my favourite albums ever!
Shawn Colvin - 'Polaroids' is the most well known work but I'd start with 'A few small repairs'; has a unique rhythmic, laid back quality underpinning strong songs. A honey production (think Paul Weller's Wild Wood) and guitar work from John Leventhal.
Liz Wright - 'The Orchard'. I defy you to find this the sexiest voice you've ever heard!
Ayo - First 'Joyful', then 'Gravity at last'. Her African origins show in the rhythms (and a hint of reggae), songs are self penned, emotive and emotional. Her voice is soft and enchanting, tastefully backed by some seriously talented session musicians.

Thanks Steve/Valerie - will check those out.
Another one to add - Jessica Rhaye - she had a solo album, Short Stories - but I also love the album she did with Leo Schmidt's German project - Valle Venia (sometimes referenced as Valle Venia Orchestra - I am the Queen - Valle Venia's stuff is hard to find, (and usually not cheap) but very interesting, the best in my opinion being Fragile which is sometimes attributed to Sam Brown, but is in fact Valle Venia Featuring Sam Brown - an awesome work, one of my favourite all time albums. (Both the Jessica Rhaye titles are on Spotify, but no mention of Valle Venia, or the Sam Brown collaboration unfortunately.)

Ah... I was just about to add two favorites of mine which, somehow, not been mentioned thus far, when Steve beat me to one of them....
There is however, one other which hasn't come up yet, which I'd highly recommend:
Ani DiFranco.
As some measure of how talented she is, she's deliberately avoided major record lables and yet has producted 19 ablums on her own label since her debut in 1990. Oh and Bob Dylan is major fan of her lyric writing.....

Some of my favourite female vocalists include these lovely ladies.
As you can see the scope of musical genres is quite wide, but all these ladies defined the music of a generation for a bunch of horny guys.
