    Well, someone's eventually going to say Sade and Bjork. So I'll scoop 'em.

    (edit: got scooped) Francoise Hardy was a little on the cute side for me.



    But I'll stick with Candi Staton. Karen Carpenter couldbeenacontendah. And I can't legally say Della Humphrey.

    I don't know about sexy vocals, but that Outkast song "she lives in my lap" with Rosario Dawson is a real sexy track. Ciarra on "oh", Sade..


    alright i think i'm equating what I think is a sexy track to how bangin' the singer is.

    Well, if we're talking dudes, then sure. Plus Scott Walker and Jacques Brel.

    is that the chick that sang "nothing to lose" in seller's the party? she's a hotty and i was gonna mention her

    I bought a sealed copy of her LP from '75 a few weeks back and haven't opened it cause I don't know how much I'd like it vs. the amount I may get from it.



    Is she truly worthwhile to listen to or is she merely "meh"?

    The fact that she shot and killed her skiier boyfriend back in the 70s makes her even more alluring.

    'Fathoms Deep' LP contains some nice grooves and sweet vocals. The Reprise LP's are the ones to look out for as they are her earlier works and fetch higher prices.... Although not huge money
    Not familiar with the later titles and don't know the LP of which you speak.

    Much the same as Minne, kind of hit and miss as far as LP's go but nice tunes.
