    I can't really decide to be honest. Both were absolutely beautiful singers. Voices of angels.

    I think this one has to be a tie.

    Too difficult to choose.

    Both fantastic.

    But I had the privileged of seeing Ella with Oscar Peterson at the London Palladium many years ago, so she gets the nod.

    Of course, Nina Simone tops both of them.

    Wow that's fantastic.

    Wish I had seen both performing live.

    Wonderful, wonderful voices.

    Oh and another of my favourites is Dusty Springfield. What a voice!!

    Ella, technically pure but lacking personality.
    Billie, tiresome after a while.
    Cleo Laine for passion, energy and 7 octaves (I think) gets my vote.

    Start your own thread about your preoccupation with surfing pictures of elderly men masturbating. That should get the young witless users going full speed.
