I gotta say Karen. In my opinion can't nobody touch her. She got the riffs(that nobody else can do), she got the range, she just got the voice overall and her voice is the one that touches me the most.
KIKI is amazing...
Kim Burell can sing.. but I don't think anyone can do it like Smokie Norful..
p.s. in a couple of years, y'all will be hearing about Daniel Austin... tight work.. he was/is the choir director for the Howard Gospel Choir.. this cat got fiyah..
Since has Kelly Price been considered Gospel, but gotta go with my fellow Texan, Yolanda Adams
how do u forget the "Queen of Gospel", Shirley Caesar? or Dorothy Norwood or perhaps the Greatest Gospel Singer of her time if not all time Mahalia Jackson. Don't forget about the pioneers.
also don't forget about CeCe Winans, Oleta Adams, or LaShaun Pace
