57. Annie Haslam might be my #1! What a voice!!

"Mother Russia", "Midas Man", "Ashes Are Burning"--just WOW!!!

There is a live performance of "Ashes Are Burning" on youtube. Renaissance didn't have a lead guitar, so they used Annie's amazing voice to replicate one--live!--and the result sent chills down my spine! She was a vocal dynamo!

Not to take anything away from Linda Ronstadt, Ann Wilson, Pat Benatar, Stevie Nicks, or anybody else, but Annie H. is the greatest!
