Best Female Vocalist?

I had an answer typed and ready to post until I noticed this is in the 'pop' category.

I won't over think this and I'll reveal my age as well, Karen Carpenter. When I was young, her soothing voice was on my parents' kitchen radio before school. Later, she was one of my guilty pleasure artists or as I like to say, 'Windows Up Artist".

Building on lite rock or pop.

For me, the lines between rock and pop were never more defined than in the '70's. I think it's because of the emergence of AOR and very few artists thrived in both, especially females.

If I had to choose one, probably Bjork

I get this vague feeling you might like Cory Daye's singing, LAXMIA2025. Or maybe it's just my imagination
