John, does it count if she's part of an ensemble? In any case, here's my favorite from the 60's. Mary Travers in " Leaving on a Jet Plane ". This one was from their 25th anniversary concert. (Sorry Buzz, it's on You Tube and I can't convert it. Maybe Six will see it and do so.)
Thanks Jim. I haven't yet figured out how to embed stuff in here, so all I could do was post a link.
At the time, I absolutely hated this song, mostly because I was always getting on an airplane or ship, leaving the people I cared about behind, and going to someplace unpleasant. Once that ended, I started to appreciate the song and the artistry that created it.
I think I've found the method of embedding. I'll try it on the next one.
Sergio Mendes composed this song for the super gorgeous voice of Lani Hall, who was 22 yo. Since then so many stars have been trying to sing this song like her in vain. You Tube

I intend to have this song played at my funeral. The lyrics dont have any special meaning to me, but I love the beautiful melody.
