    Dead at 35 and a remarkable and gruelling back story.

    Aretha and Karen Carpenter, as mentioned, would be worthy winners and just for the reason I mentioned in the make thread Maddy Prior would be an excellent choice. I also love Joan Armatrading too.

    However, for her longevity and the fact that she is a brilliant songwriter too, I would go for Carole King.

    1970s?  She died in 1970.

    Vaguely remember singing this with you in that place in France, drunk, and we then decided going in the dodgems, still drunk, at three in the morning was a good idea.

    Long pont?

    October 1970, which makes her a female voice of the 70s if I'm not mistaken. Definitely not a beauty, but boy was she a sexy lady.

    Longpont it was.

    Remember the shooting range?

    And the Kir Royale.
