Okay. So we’ve got a couple of votes for Nina Simone and Chet Baker, quite a few for the twisted one, Nina Hagen, and her swarthy sister, Ofra Haza, and about one each for Debby Harry, Grace Jones, Annie Lennox, Stevie Nicks, and Dolly Parton. (Ralph also proposed Cyndi Lauper, but I dunno ’bout that.)
Any other nominations for alpha-type vocalists worthy of booting the Lady M from her king-of-the-hill spot atop the queer heap? Preferably someone alive? I mean, Billie Holliday’s great and all, but I prefer heroes with a pulse.
