Moving on from shav’s favorite painting thread, who’s your favorite female vocalist, most sultry voice ?

I’m going with Diana Krall, for example, Dancing in the Dark.

Hmm... not sure about sultry... singers who go all out for sultry, IYAM, tend to lose other qualities.

But one singer who I've started loving more and more recently, and who has some sultry but not to the point that she's started loving her fun and her action, is Jacqui Abbot.

Reaching into the wayback machine, I'd say Etta James.

Sade just might be the Queen of sultry voices.

Karen Carpenter.

She's probably underrated, but not because she didn't have a sexy, sultry voice.

One of the most sad stories in the music industry.

She did have a rich, melodious voice.

Don’t know how you beat Anita Baker and Toni Braxton in the sultry voice department.

As for “Dancing in the Dark,” check out Erroll Garner’s version on YouTube.
