We are currently on a sbinge to find great female singer /songwriters from the olden days. We are very familiar with some, yet in comepletely unaware of others like Joan Baez, who we have been sleeping to everyday. If you know of any female vocalists from the 60s, 70s or 80s tell us. We doubt we will find many that we don’t know of, but it’s always great to explore old catalogues of great artists.

Joan Armatrading
Bobby Gentry
Gillian Welch
Judy Tzuke
Elkie Brooks
Rita Coolidge (yawn)

and the always under-rated Roberta Flack
