Most Soulful Female Voices

These are females with the most beautiful, haunting interpretation of song lyrics. They tell the story in the words perfectly. The only reason I number them is because I have to. Otherwise they are all amazing... And these are really just a tip of the iceberg of beautiful, soulful voices.
The Top Ten

Jackie sings from a place deep inside her. When one of her concerts ends, you feel like she's given you everything she has and then some.
