The Kendalls were a huge country act in the late 70s and 1980′s with three #1 records and many top tens and top 40 hits. Jeannie sang lead with Royce proving harmony so she deserves a far higher place on your chart than #98, absurdly low. She also deserves credit for being one of the very few “pure country” female vocalists of that era to become a big star.

Me too, Bobbi. I like her duet with Alan Jackson on her solo self titled albumt that Kevin mentioned. That whole albumt is good, actually.

I’ll put together a list over the next couple of weeks – I will say this – although Connie Smith is my all-time favorite female country singer (and probably the best pure vocalist, period), she won’t make my top three in terms of influence and importance

Paul,

I’d be interested to see how a list of yours would contrast with mine, given the differences in taste and reference points that we have.

I would have her much higher on my list, probably in my top 50

Thanks, Kevin! I just downloaded her bluegrass album from amazon. I really like her voice.

Oh cool I didn’t think she’d make the list, I’m so glad she did. All The Girls I Am is an amazing record.
