female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

ok , maybe a bit of a misogyinst thread ( a female/lady member can start her own thread) but a question for the blokes/chaps/males who use this site ..... who do you still have a 'teenage' chrush/fantasys over .....?
what song/singer is allways in the back of your mind , and whenever you hear her singing a particular song, a little light bulb lights up , and heartstrings tug for whatever reason ....
Older members like Jambutty and Ianto.W , (and I hope they read this post) probably would maybe include Alma Cogan or Anne Shelton (no disrespect meant or intended, just an age thing) and a youngster like Shakermaker would maybe include Amy Winehouse or some such creature, it's a generational thing ... but for me ........
Any time I hear Francise Hardy singing 'all over the world " it just puts me in another time and place , same with the Jane Birkin and 'Je Taime' do any other users of the group have a song that presses their buttons ...

posts welcome from any generations , just let us know why ...:D

Diana Ross.. 35 years later she looks better as a grandmother than she ever looked as a young singer. Oh and she can sing a bit ,

Not a singer.. But Felicity kendal was on telly the other night.. Another one that will always age well :)

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

love many female singers but only 1 in that category Ronnie - out of the Ronettes still get a shiver when i see em in old clips.:)

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

Debbie Harry of Blondie.

Loved her from the age of twelve, until now, thirty years later.

Met her on my fifteenth birthday, which will go down as the most exciting day of my life.:)

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

You beat me to it, Mr C! Tough, but beautiful...and she still looks good today!

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

LuLu ...nearly forgot about her :)

Theres lots around today .. but as It's from days gone by and still today... Lulu and Diana Ross still do a bit.. Does Ronnie of the Ronettes still perform.. presumably so?

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

Yep, still going strong, making records...and still looking good!

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

has to be janis joplin for me

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

fabulous singer got quite a bit of her material, but presses no buttons with me,she was hanging.:D

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

Great singer..sadly no longer with us........Eva Cassidy.

YouTube - Eva Cassidy - over the rainbow

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

I know I probably shouldn't butt in here, but Royboy, if you like Eva Cassidy....you may also like Rosie Thomas....check out 'Red Rover' and 'Sell all my things'.

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

Thanks Margaret I will........The song Over the Rainbow means something a bit special to me........My mother used to sing that and she was a hell of a singer.

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

I love the Eva Cassidy version of that song.....it brings a lump to my throat the size of Gibraltar....I like 'Fields of Gold' too.

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

Not seen her recently but Wendy James of transvision vamp. And there was something about Carol Decker (T'Pau) that had me in awe.

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

Bananarama... I would love to go custard wrestling with Bananarama! :D

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

all three of em sparky?.... show off!

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

I was gonna say the Pussycat Dolls, but I think the paramedics would have to be put on standby. :rolleyes:

If we are talking singers, as opposed to eye-candy, my vote goes to Eva Cassidy, closely followed by Sarah Jane Morris.

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

Not really a proper Banana I know, but one night at a party in London I got off with Jacquie O'Sullivan, the girl who replaced Siobhan, when she left to start Shakespeare's Sister.:o

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

Lol..... Sparks has more chance of custard wrestling with the Banana Splits than Bananarama..:D;) (sorry dear :o)

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You - Aretha Franklin . . . . I remember seeing a fine selection of female soul singers at the Wheel & Nelson Imp [they used to do some great American acts] but this one is the tops, still.
Some good songs on The Soul Club

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

Careful.You'll be getting asked to go on the next series of 'I'm a celebrity get me out of here' with revelations like that.;)
People with smaller claims to fame than that have appeared on it :D

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

the twisted wheel brings back memories yet again
first saw steve winwood down there
all out before midnight then queue again for the all nighter
great songs on the soulclub

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

That's nothing! If you ever come to a meet don't buy me a drink.

I remember at the last meet telling Lindsay Ormerod's mum, amongst others, the time at a party in Battersea that H.R.H. Prince..................

Hush my mouth.;)

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

That would be good fight you for em. ;):D

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

Favorite female ? Clare Grogan. I could be happy

Best female vocal performances,

Kate Bush, This Womans Work or Kate Rusbys No Names

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

ooooh, aye, Kate Bush, cracking voice....................

purely on a vocal criteria, Amanda McBroom, Jenifer Warnes, her from Beautiful South.

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

This is difficult as there are so many but Kate Bush is a definate singing "The Man With The Child In His Eyes". Closely followed by Jewel singing "Adrian" I also had a thing for Wilson Phillips, The Go-Gos, Lene Marlin, Olivia Newton John as Sandy and the beautiful Sarah Cracknell from St Etienne.

Without sounding like a perv todays singers include Cascada, Kate Nash, Shakira, oh yes indeed.

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

We agree on something!

She's gorgeous.:rolleyes:

Charles wanted you to apply for the job as the man who puts toothpaste on his toothbrush?lol ;)

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

The more I think about this it's got to be Sarah Cracknell and Jewel as my 1 and 2,:)

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

Two of my favorites from the 60s, Francoise Hardy and Mireille Mathieu, .Still looking great, and one of my favorite Mod femmes Billy Davis, with Tell Him. lastly lets not forget Julie Driscoll.

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

Edith Piaff, singing No Regrets, Billie Holliday,unique without question the finest blues/jaz singer, Kathleen Ferrier,without equal "What is life without you, my bonny Lad, The Keel Row, etc the only Alto/Contralto to even attempt Mahler. Modern female imposters are not worth a mention. In my humble opinion, utter garbage.

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

Lulu use to row my boat, Debbie Harry in her prime, Diane Ross (Agree with Mr K) Eve Cassidy any time and Cila Black (6os Style)

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

Brenda Lee was another, was not called (Little Miss Dynamite) for nowt.;)

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

If we're on country singers then early 90s when CMT was on Sky I remember a certain Suzy Bogguss singing Drive South its on you tube, my kind of gal.:cool:

Re: female singers ..who still presses your buttons
 

She's a Scottish lassie who found stardom in the early eighties on Esther Rantzen's 'The Big Time' television show. Had a few hits, moved to America, hitched up with Prince, had a few global hits this time, and is now wowing people in shellsuits in Las Vegas.
