Donna Summer one of Selena favorite singers is now in the top 50! Wow! I can't wait for her to be on the same page as Selena. That will be the moment but for right now let just give Donna a round of applause for all her hard work. Because she works hard for the spins. :)

My favourite female singers with age and birthday (listed chronologic), place of birth (if known), short description (from Wikipedia) and picture (only included for the deceased ones).

(born before 1940)

† Bessie Smith (born April 15, 1894, Chattanooga, Tennessee, U.S., died September 26, 1937), sometimes referred to as "The Empress of the Blues," was the most popular female blues singer of the 1920s and 1930s. She is often regarded as one of the greatest singers of her era and, along with Louis Armstrong, a major influence on subsequent jazz vocalists.

† Marlene Dietrich (27 December 1901 – 6 May 1992, Berlin, Germany) was a German-born American actress and singer.Although she still made occasional films in the post-war years, Dietrich spent most of the 1950s to the 1970s touring the world as a successful show performer. In 1999 the American Film Institute named Dietrich the ninth greatest female star of all time.

Loggin in to last.fm for the first time in oh, forever. Mainly due to the stushy over possible password leakage. Oh joy, trying to remember what arcane combination I can use that I can remember Anyway I'm back, seem to have stopped listening to music though - I'm back to catching up with my podcasts. Need to get some summer toons on the go. Talking of summer, still mourning Donna Summer, God how good was her 70s stuff! I Feel Love seemed to be the song of the season in the charts for weeks and weeks. Beginnings of electronica as well as massive disco hit. Ah, good times, the excitement at new kinds of sounds emerging...
