Female Musical Legends

The end of year somehow makes one contemplate the best in the world or the best things that have yet to come.

Today I’ve got to thinking about the female musical legends that I have listened to over the years.  These legends have a huge catalogue  to bonafide their musical achievement.

Here are my choices in alphabetical order.  (It is a work in progress and no way complete)

Please comment below your own favourite and let me add to the list, than you and wishing you a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
