Ella Fitzgerald
NO singer has ever made me feel an emotion like that ever. Creamy and smooth when it needs to be but with a depth to it that all that scatting can't hide.
India.Arie is pretty high up there on the list too though.
When I am feeling young though I like Brandy, lol. Her voice is really youthful to me, and sometimes I can relate to songs that have a little bit more uncertainty, and more of a searching feeling to them, like hers.

It may be said with rough accuracy that there are three stages in the life of a strong people. First, it is a small power, and fights small powers. Then it is a great power, and fights great powers. Then it is a great power, and fights small powers, but pretends that they are great powers, in order to rekindle the ashes of its ancient emotion and vanity.-- G.K. Chesterton
