I'd probably think of more with time, but the first 3 that immediately came to my mind were Janis Joplin, Stevie Nicks, and Aretha Franklin.
Some good links there, people.....
I have high hopes for this young lady....

First time I heard this, I stopped what I was doing and pinned my ears back - been a long time since a debut single did that to me!

I clicked on that link expecting Leona Lewis!?! :evil:

Yeah, that is pretty good. When I first heard it, I clicked on a weblink thinking "why has that Hilary Duff chick gone all 60s?" glad I was so bloody curious.
I'm gonna yell Etta James!!! Man, I'd rather go blind, than watch her walk away from us music lovers. :wink:
(If you're into hippie-chic! 8) )
I love that! Hippie chic! :lol: I never could come up with an accurate/adequate description of my particular style, so I'm officially stealing yours! :D Thanks! :wink:
LOL!
Hi EB :D
Always good to see you :wink:
Are you Hippie Hippie Chic????
(Pictures!!!!) (please :) )
I don't think that I came up with it.... I probably picked it up long ago in my big city days in Chicago....
So, feel free to use it.... I wont charge any royalties! :wink:
+1 on Emmylou.... Fell in love with her as Dylan's back-up singer on the 'Desire' album 8)

I imagine there's a long line of guys in love with EmmyLou Harris
I like your choices the best. I'm going to follow up on Linda Perry
It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.
I clicked on that link expecting Leona Lewis!?!
No. No, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, noooooooooooooooooooo! NO!
Oh, Sara. How could the merest thought even cross your mind? I'm upset now.
And she's no relation, either. None whatsoever. Definitely no shared ancestry. I checked. Several times. And then a few more to make sure.
Even my musical taste-buds have gone off for a sulk.

One of my favorite Eva covers is "Ain't No Sunshine"

But, my absolute favorite Eva cover is "Wade in the Water"
