Largely Forgotten Great Songs by Female Artists

The title is clunky I realize, but I had to get some of these great songs down while I had them in mind, and to share them with whomever may be interested. Please add any that you feel compelled to, so I can check them out.
The Top Ten
1 Black Velvet - Alannah Myles

Anyone who's forgotten this gal is sorely low on testosterone - unless you're female, in which case, you just have a bad memory.

2 Smooth Operator - Sade
3 It Must Have Been Love - Roxette

Indeed. Lovely song, although it makes my heart ache.

4 Son of a Preacher Man - Dusty Springfield

I don't know about other people, but I've never forgotten about this song. Dusty's voice was fantastic!

I love this woman's Smokey vocals. This is her best in my humble opinion.

Two shakes of a lamb's tail

5 Brass In Pocket - Pretenders
6 Midnight Blue - Melissa Manchester
7 Easy for You to Say - Linda Ronstadt
8 You're No Good - Linda Ronstadt
9 Fade Into You - Mazzy Star
10 Angel Of The Morning - Juice Newton

Really just a cover. The original by Merilee Rush & the Turnabouts is even more rare these days.

The Contenders
11 Running Up that Hill (A Deal with God) - Kate Bush

Excellent Song!

12 Straight On - Heart

A lot of these songs still get regular airplay if you're on the right station, so I'll go for this one simply because there's a lot more well-known Heart songs out there (most of which are probably even better, mind you. lol)

13 Jazzman - Carole King
14 Carnival - Natalie Merchant
15 Midnight at the Oasis - Maria Muldaur
16 Trouble Me - 10,000 Maniacs
17 Driving - Everything but the Girl

I just love Tracey Thorn's voice!

18 Right Time of the Night - Jennifer Warnes
19 Landslide - Fleetwood Mac
20 I Say a Little Prayer - Aretha Franklin
21 Crazy for You - Madonna

Ahh...reminds me of my very first crush talking to me at the school Christmas party. Oh the memories. It's a pity I can't remember his name...

22 Rescue Me - Fontella Bass

It IS a great song indeed.

23 Dear Jessie - Madonna

This is really the only song by Madonna that I really love. Can't remember the last time I heard it. It seems no one else mentions it either.

24 Who Will Save Your Soul - Jewel
25 Paper Bag - Fiona Apple
