some women sou/jazz/R&B singers

[jazzboCR]

Gonna split this in 2, as there are 6 to present.
Janine Gilbert-Carter Known principally as a Gospel singer, she brings that feeling, that sensibility to her secular offerings. A DC-area Local Hero.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApO1XvswwyE << Gorgeous sax accompaniment
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stTar9yjZIY << That 2nd comment says it all...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEkHMvUwjmU << good as the band is, I'd have mixed her voice a little stronger in the mix.

Sheba Potts-Wright She can be salty--you are cautioned. 6 CDs in 12 years--it's shag time, babycakes

Listening to Janine as I type, Jazz man! Thanks for the share, I love her! Very nice to start a Monday and a new week! ( My wife is loving her also...that's a plus!!!!...lol)

Warmest regards to your wife, SteveO; glad to provide connubial blessings--they're important. Now to finish up, 2 powerful, mature voices that are known outside the Blues/jazz/R&B world--Trudy Lynn and Denise LaSalle
Trudy Lynn Only recording solo since '89 but been a solid backup since forever. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trudy_Lynn and http://www.trudylynnblues.com/ A good place to start would be '98's Introspectives on Ichiban Records.

Denise LaSalle Been a solo recording artist for 43 years, and as she went longer, she got stronger. Has long written a lot of her own material: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denise_LaSalle and http://www.allmusic.com/artist/denise-la.../biography
She can be downright salty--I'll spare you those.

This just in about Trudy Lynn--I came across the inestimable Ron Weinstock's blog entry on a post-Ichiban * recording: http://inabluemood.blogspot.com/2012/01/...-here.html I gave her short shrift above so here's more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trudy_Lynn and get in touch or find her a gig near you (she still travels world-wide).: http://www.trudylynnblues.com/
Some tunes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqqyfGL85l4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCcdeqGQVBI << Are you kidding me? I'm in the 1st 10 to click on this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IqThdgm6Ng << Some joker is offering this CD new for $700--I wish him the best of luck.

IMPORTANT NOTE: She writes a good deal of her own material...and always has.
* Ichiban Records was a premier Japanese-sounding label (they were really out of Atlanta, GA)--buy anything they put out in confidence--no bow-wows (they were heavy into hip-hop in the latter days...)--the catalog of them and subsidiaries is owned by EMI but no reissues yet--they are sitting on some real gems. Oh well--the music biz. : http://www.ranker.com/list/ichiban-recor...gle.com%2F and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichiban_Records
