Nice list, Ken.

Right now, I'll say:
Grace Slick
Sarah Vaughan
Azam Ali
Billie Holiday
Buddy Holly
Frank Sinatra
Michael Black
Anita O'Day
Joan Baez
Waylon Jennings

On any given day, one or more of the following might poke up into the top 10, though: Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Gordon Lightfoot, Del McCoury, Bob Dylan, Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee, Elvis Presley, Diana Krall, Solomon Burke, Judy Collins, Van Morrison, Bill Monroe, Warren Zevon, Karen Matheson, Willie Nelson, Otis Redding...it goes on and on.

Ah, the meek. Playing the long game.
Sneaky bastards.
