There are so many but the ones who do it for me in no particular order are...
Alison Krauss Susan Tedeschi Karen Carpenter Bonnie Raitt
Roberta Flack Christie McVie gets honorable mention. She's not a classic singer but I've always loved her voice.

I like all mentioned but I have to add Avril Levine and Shania Twain, and I wish I remembered her name, some lovely lady jazz singer from Minneapolis. I'm sure is now deceased but was big in the late 70's

I must admit Karen Carpenter had an unbelievable voice, which tended to get overlooked back in the day due to the "cheesiness" of some of their songs.
