    Did not a link to her photo or YT videos because every time I do my PC locks up.

    Lot of great ones here. I had forgotten just how many there were. If not already mentioned, how about adding Mama Cass Elliot, Dionne Warwick, Barbara Streisand, and Gloria Estefan to the list.

    One of the greatest songs from the 1960s - great lyrics, vocals, and orchestration.

    Don't normally appreciate covers - especially when they are covering songs by my favorite singers, but if Otis were alive, he'd like this version, I think. I know I do. Her name is Sarah Niemietz, and she is being accompanied by my favorite guitarist, W. G. "Snuffy" Walden.

    Also love just about anything Norah Jones does. She's one of my favorites.

    I think that's why I like her. Because she's different.

    I watched the movie Cadillac Records and afterwards I looked up every song and artist portrayed in this movie.
    Beyoncé did a good job in that role.

    Two mentions of Gladys Knight and no love for Aretha (that would be Franklin, for you young skulls full of mush)?

    You philistines. :p

    I'll add Alison Krauss and Sheena Easton.

    Sings like a whore I woudn't boink with Slick Willie's twanger by remote control from an ocean away.

    Genie in a Bottle? Christina has WAY better songs that really show her talent.

    The voice should not get in the way. The performance should never outshine the real star and that is the song itself, the lyric. Keep it pure. keep it simple. This woman knows how to do that.
