Can anyone recommend some "alto" or really voiced soul/R&B female singers on CD? I'm tired of the whispy voiced singers of today that all sound about the same (generally bad/bland and boring.

Gladys Knight, perhaps?

Check out Cherokee, a CD she released a few years ago went unnoticed, but she's the real deal. While not an alto, you'll like Mica Paris too.
