If it wasn't for her and a few other singers (such as Janis Joplin and Ann Wilson), we wouldn't have the female vocalists we have today.

Well, to be fair, there are probably a fair few good female vocalists out there, but they're too busy being caught up with making money from today's generally woeful pop music to put their voices to good use.
Case in point - I was most surprised to discover the singer of "Paparazzi" (I'm quite fond of it... at the very least, it's the first new pop song I've come close to liking in ages) is Lady Ga Ga, because her vocals on it are very pretty (for about half of the song anyway). You certainly wouldn't know she could sing like that listening to her dreadful "Poker Face"!
