I'm a fan, but surely it's Aretha Franklin.

Regarding modern-day female singers, I think Morgan James takes some beating...

A few samples -

Take me to Church - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C0xGB73Uuc

Sledgehammer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Axb7fF8nldU

Maps - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gO_lxThc1M

And finally one of my real favourites - Dream On - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yq4KA0mUnC8

By the way, anyone looking for great female singers might enjoy spending a nice hour browsing the PostmodernJukebox on YouTube, which can be found here - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCORIeT ... untEXsguLg

There's some great tracks in there. Here's Maiya Sykes covering Zombie, by the Cranberries - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiDKLltU118

Here's Puddles Pity Party & Haley Reinhart covering Mad World - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVevvbFNKiY

A few of my old time favourites. Voices that are pure, crystal and unforgettable.

Ema Chaplin. Carmine Meo

Eva Cassidy. She was very ill when she sang this. A very great loss at such an early age.

Mahalia. The Lords Prayer. I'm a mess every time I hear this.

Diana Washington. Often overlooked but right up there(well nearly) with Ella
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fk-jh3xocd0

Mary Hopkins....pure..And for me, those were the days. Yes I'm a Cliff fan as well.(I'll get my coat )

Lily Allen. Warning. language. Great lyrics.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxmnXszTm2w

Eartha. Grrrrr. Phrasing, diction, class. Rarely played. And listen to the next one. My Discarded Men.

Can't leave Nina out...
