I thought I'd mention just a few favorite female artists that I've appreciated over the years....Janis Joplin, Gladys Knight, Grace Slick, Aretha Franklin, Peggy Lee, Dinah Washington, Heart, Tina Turner, Stevie Nicks, Whitney Houston, Sarah Brightman, Beyonce', Pat Benatar, Ella Fitzgerald, Alicia Keys and of course the very exciting Lady Gaga. Did I miss any, of course I did.

This You Tube video (bank commercial with the bald guy), has been posted here before.

I really like the music on this one. Old style, but one of my favorites. Listen to the backup singers and their harmonies.  Sounds like the Beach Boys did the arrangement. Wish I could find the entire song. Googled it, but only partial lyrics came up on an AOL password restricted page. Guess it was not that popular.

And the appearance of the bald guy really tops it all.

Wow. I don't follow most of these bands above.  Put me down for the BEatles, Stones, Zepp, Steely Dan, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan and The Doors.

I like most of the Motown music. They were just good singable songs with accompaniments that you can feel in your soul.

Check out Unwrapped by Hidden Beach Productions.  They take popular rap songs and turn them into Jazz.  You'll like it even if you don't like rap.
