Female Blues Singers?


I am trying to find a song I heard awhile back and it is driving me crazy because I can't think of the name or the artist. It may have been Billie Holiday but I think it was someone that was similar to her. The song is something about a good man and a no good woman I think. If you are a bug fan of the blues let me know and I will try to explain more of the song to see if you can help.

Thanks for the tips...I love blues and I of know most of the "stars" but I could not place the song and after hearing Billie Holiday no good man on my Ipod it triggered the memory of the other song, I just couldn't think of it, and you know how annoying that can be. But I found it, it was Do Right Woman Do Right Man by Aretha Franklin.

Heres all the female blues singers that I can think of:
Janis Joplin, Bonnie Raitt (early years), Koko Taylor, Big Mama Thornton, Billie Holliday (jazz), Bessie Smith, Big Maybelle, Gloria Hardiman, Ma Rainey, Rory Block, Susan Tedeschi, Shemekia Copeland, Sippie Wallace, Ma Rainey, Memphis Minnie, (early) Lucinda (Williams), Katie Webster, Angela Strehli.
Good luck!

i think you may be talking about "no good man" by billie holiday. doesnt she have an amazing voice?

check out Janis Joplin

probably bessie smith if your a blues fan you,ll love her

I find it interesting that she found her answer was Aretha Franklin, who is known as a soul singer. Just goes to show you how closely related music is and how R&B, Soul, and Rock got their start from the Blues.

Try Etta James, KoKo Taylor and of course Aretha Franklin. Aretha's Dr. Feelgood is the standard to go by.
