I haven't thought of my choices quite yet, but yours are quite interesting. I may share 1 out of the 3 with you, and I probably wouldn't have given the other two consideration, but they're both quite valid. Fun stuff.

Hands down Midnight Wind! One of the greatest harmony vocals ever.
Seven Wonders, Talk to Me, Mirror Mirror

Beautiful Child
Midnight Wind
Dreams
Sleeping Angel
Gypsy

Would probably be my top 5. No particular order, other than Beautiful Child - which is by far the best vocal of her career.

Whenever I Call You Friend is the first one that comes to mind, I really wish she had recorded some material with THAT voice.

Beauty and the Beast
Beautiful Child
Crystal

My favorite vocal of hers will probably always be the background wails she does on Walter Egan's Tunnel Of Love. They're just so witchy & primal! It's still hard to believe she was convinced to participate in such a raunchy song.

I actually think some of the best vocals Stevie has contributed are backing vocals- case & point, the sultry vocal she contributed to Marilyn Martin's Sorcerer. Like others have mentioned, her backing vocals on Jon Stewart's Midnight Wind are amongst her most epic studio vocals. The emotion captured on Storms is unmatched- it sounds like she recorded the song right after a big cry. I think the most beautiful vocal she ever recorded was Beautiful Child. So I have many favorites for different reasons.

Live vocals are another animal altogether... that's probably best discussed in a separate thread.

I love her voice on just about every song. I love her voice then and now. That's why I first became a fan. The other fascinating things about her, lyrics, image ect came later. There are only a few songs when her voice seemed off
