This is hard because
Stevie is my #1-
However I don't believe that she has the most vocal talent. I just love the "whole package", her presense, her mystery, her talent for writing obscure songs that make me think...
I love everything about her, but let's face it ---she truely does not have the best voice when compared to/with:
(in no particular order)
Annie Lennox
Bette Midler
Barbra Streisand (sorry...I know but the chick can sing!)
Joan Osburne
Lena Horne
Sinaed O'Connor (or whatever she calls herself today...That Prince "cover" was amazing!)
Kate Bush
Bonnie Raitt
Ann Wilson
Linda Rhonstat

to name a few....
