Most Memorable 70s Songs by a Female Singer

The Top Ten
1 I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor

I love this song because it's such an empowering female song. It's like a screw u song to your ex. Also it's such a catchy song.

2 Jolene - Dolly Parton

My favorite Dolly song - just wonderful track

Love the song and her voice

3 You're So Vain - Carly Simon

Can sing every song on the album... she can tear your heart out! LOVE!

Coolest intro ever and those lyrics cut like a knife

Mysterious and sexy song. Every detail perfect!

A pure classic. Witty and sly. Clever and biting!

4 Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush
5 Ain't No Mountain High Enough - Diana Ross

Diana Ross is a legend. Her version of Ain't No Mountain High Enough is phenomenal. Such an innovative song with Diana's beautiful talking and singing voice!

The full length version is classic.

6 I Will Always Love You - Dolly Parton

One of the most beautiful songs about LOVE. Not many people know that Dolly performed this song much before Whitney Houston but I adore both versions

You've got to be able to feel that real cry in your voice. Dolly does it like no one can. Well, maybe Connie Francis can too.

Whitney's version was awesome but Dolly's had the song at #1 TWO times and that is extremely rare in any genre!

Once you've heard it you will never forget it. No better accolade for an artist

7 Hot Stuff - Donna Summer
8 Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves - Cher

Very nice track and Cher's performance is so great!

9 I Feel Love - Donna Summer

A very old song that still sounds modern!

10 I Honestly Love You - Olivia Newton-John

Olivia was the IT girl of the 70s! The voice, beyond beautiful! She was truly Totally Hot in every sense of the word! I will forever love this gorgeous lady!

ONJ was the the perfect voice for the 70s, her music was soft and elegant and she then transformed into a sexy bad girl just in time for the 80s to come in. Olivia was Totally Hot!

She has such a sweet voice and look about her how can you not LOVE HER! !

The Contenders
11 Killing Me Softly With His Song - Roberta Flack
12 Diamonds Are Forever - Shirley Bassey

Without a doubt the best and can sing live also

Wonderful track from James Bond franchise

13 You're No Good - Linda Ronstadt

Simply the greatest set of female pipes. No one comes close for vocal beauty, power, joy and heartbreak.

Linda was a one of a kind blues/country/rock artist in her time and a now pillar in female rock history.. A real sexy/soulful heart throb in her early days.. my first teenage crush before Nancy Wilson hit the scene with her cat-like independence and her own take on female rock..

Lotta soul injected vocals

Cool, clear - great band and a lead singer to kill for.

14 Because the Night - Pattie Smith

Awesome tune written by Bruce for her to record!

15 Moonraker - Shirley Bassey

Very beautiful and a bit underrated track from Shirley

16 Lady Marmalade - Labelle
17 I Am Woman - Helen Reddy

The anthem of the woman's movement... she sang this acapella in 2017 in February at the Women's March... she sang in the same register! Awesomeness!

18 It's Too Late - Carole King

AWESOME singer singer songwriter...

Loved it, always..!

19 Denis - Blondie
20 Hanging On the Telephone - Blondie
21 Please Mr. Please - Olivia Newton-John

Olivia is just so great

22 If I Can't Have You - Yvonne Elliman
23 Hopelessly Devoted to You - Olivia Newton - John

Perfect song and vocal

24 Heartbreaker - Pat Benatar
25 Blue Bayou - Linda Ronstadt
