Billy Joel, "Goodnight Saigon"
Don't know why, but I was suddenly really drawn to listening to it, a couple of times in a row, at that. Frankly, I think it is one of Billy Joel's best songs.

Jackson Browne - Running on Empty came on in the car on the way to the office this AM. That is a great song and he wrote some amazing songs in the 70s

I over listened to that summer/fall '02 (long story). But really good stuff when you are already in a good mood to keep it going. For sure.

I was never much of a JB fan, but he knocked it out of the park with The Load-out/Stay, which I could listen to a lot of times, and did.

I guess it is because this is a wine forum, but your post made me think of Peter Spann.

Haven't thought much about it, but Sade would be one, Edith Piaf another. Maybe Ella Fitzgerald, Adele, Diana Krall. I love Shirley Alston Reeves!

I guess I would have to split this up between "best currently & best of all time." Also, I'd throw the disclaimer in there that I'm not a fan of all of their music; my list is based off of raw talent (Sorry Miley...).
Currently:
- Celine Dion
- Martina McBride
- Sarah Brightman
- Mariah Carey
- Alison Krauss
All-Time Top-10
- Whitney Houston
- Maria Callas
- Ella Fitzgerald
- Karen Carpenter
- Etta James
- Aretha Franklin
- Celine Dion
- Eva Cassidy (a tragedy that she was "discovered" posthumously.)
- Reba McEntire
- Bonnie Raitt

I hope this isn't in order. Ella could mop the floor vocally with Houston. In addition she was the great interpreter of the Great American Songbook instead of pop crap of the 70s & 80s.
