Sheena Easton actually did pretty well for herself. She's proven herself equally adept at MOR, Pop, and R&B. Few singers had her artistic range are as convincing as Easton. I'm not much on "Sugar Walls" (filthy tune, btw - if anyone other than Prince had written it, it never would have even been recorded) but "The Lover In Me" and "What Comes Naturally" were both credible R&B.

It happened on December 28th, 1999 that I discovered Andrea Corr and The Corrs. This family band had that sibling harmony thing going on that I'd liked since The McGuire Sisters. I couldn't get enough of them, and actually traveled to Australia to see a couple of live concerts. They were a band for only a few more albums and years before breaking up to do the family thing, and I hope that they someday get back together to create some more music. Andrea and Sharon Corr have each released solo albums, but they're not quite the same.Harry
Yes, the way their audiences all know the songs and sing along is reminiscent of Carpenters concerts.UNPLUGGED is gorgeous - and LIVE AT LANSDOWNE ROAD is one of the most amazing concerts ever. When the hometown crowd takes over singing "Runaway", it just about reduces Andrea to tears.

I would certainly always include the superb BONNIE RAITT in a list of my all-time favourites.
While her voice is nothing like Karen's (of course, I'd say no one's is ) I'd like to jump in on the Bonnie Raitt bandwagon. She was the first artist I bought every record of. I even have a fair amount of underground/unreleased recordings. She reminds me of Karen, not in style of voice, but in the sheer emotion she can sing with. While I like a lot of singers, Karen and Bonnie are some of the few who can literally make me shiver.
Harry, I'm speechless. All I can say is "WOW". I especially like how you've added your own labeling to the title to keep track of them- that's a great idea. I don't have many duplicate tracks.
As far as albums go, Bonnie is one of those few whose entire albums I enjoy. There's very few songs of hers I don't like. That said, I don't care for the album Green Light at all, and I'm not terribly fond of Nick of Time. However, her least popular album, Nine Lives, is in my opinion extremely underrated. It has some real gems. Angel, Crime of Passion, Who But A Fool, All Day, All Night, and Stand Up to the Night are all slam dunk tracks.
I certainly listen to Christine McVie and Nancy Wilson for a start!! Fleetwood Mac is much the poorer for losing Christine.
Annie solo and with the band Renaissance has been a favorite of mine since the 70s. I saw her/them play many times at the Bottom Line here in NYC. She has a soaring soprano with all the high notes. Also, the former group October Project, like Renaissance was arty and progressive, but their lead vocalist Mary Fahl had a rich alto voice. Nice stuff if you are in to the genre.
