I voted for Ms. Wright. I also really like Lori. I'm happy Sharon and her stayed with Stevie for so long. What makes you guys vote for Marilyn or Sara? (no offense, just wondering)

[BellaDonna93]

Lori and Sharon, of course But I love Jana too

Had you been lucky enough to see the Street Angel Tour live, you would know what I mean. Sara's voice was absolutely amazing. And she sounds the most like Stevie than any of the other ladies. So you had Stevie's vocals backed with the powerful Sara vocal which created an enormous, full textured sound.

I gave Elisecia the sympathy vote as I didn't expect her to get any votes. However, she did add an understated sass quotient to the RAL tour. Thanks to Bob Dylan for loaning her out.

Doesn't Annie McAloon (sp?) get no love for her b/u on "Sara?"

Annie McLoone

Look for her album Fast Annie that came out around 1974 or so...she covers "Spare Me A Little Of Your Love" on it. After listening to it again a couple of years ago, it sure seems as though Sheryl Crow must've owned the album at one point and wore out the grooves.

Aw jeez. I can't pick between Sharon or Lori... GAH. But a younger Lori kind of remind me of my mom.. same with Stevie. But only in some pictures. Unforunately, I resemble neither.

I'm going with Lori.

Sharon. There was a time in my life when I was almost more obsessed with her than with Stevie. She's just so dark and interesting. I want to go out for drinks with her and her vampire friends.

That's cool. Any examples on a song where she really stood out? I kind of like a voice a little different than Stevie's, that still complements her at the same time. Her voice was so strong on the SA tour anyway, even if Sara was there or not.
