Way before things like electricity and technology became a big part of everyone’s way of living, people have already shown many impressive skills in several fields. Ever since humanity’s earlier civilizations, everyone played significant roles in accommodating their needs, like hunting, farming, and raising the future generation of people.
Over the years, several men and women have played significant roles in humanity’s many achievements in history. However, due to a few circumstances throughout specific points in time, women were often overlooked and underappreciated. Fortunately, that type of treatment is gradually becoming a thing of the past now.
Besides men, several women have shown their skills in several fields of work. For this article, we’ll be talking about a few of music’s best female vocalists. Over the years, more than a few of them have become influential and inspiring figures for people around the world. After all, everyone has the right to pursue their goals and dreams in life; it isn’t only meant for a fortunate few. Well, without further ado, let’s head on to the article.
Celine Dion
Even if you don’t know her name, you can undoubtedly recognize her amazing voice. Before she became a hit sensation in the music industry, Celine Dion was already showing her talents at such a young age – she has made records singing in different languages, including Japanese, German, Spanish, and Italian. By 1992, the singer’s popularity rose to a higher degree when she sang the theme song of the classic Disney animated film Beauty and the Beast. From this point onward, her reputation as a talented singer only became more and more well-known across the world. Eventually, Dion also sang for other hit movies like Titanic and Deadpool 2 – her record, My Heart Will Go On, for the former film became her most popular song.
Aretha Franklin
Born to a family raised by a talented musician, it was only a matter of time before Aretha Franklin became one herself. When she was just five years old, Franklin’s interest in singing already began to grow. Through the years, the investments she made in herself and her talent in singing eventually bore fruitful results. Throughout her career, the singer became an influential figure in several music genres, ranging from gospel to pop – though she is most often known as “The Queen of Soul.” With her strong presence in the music scene, Aretha Franklin inspired several fellow artists and fans alike – she also utilized her fame to promote her advocacy for equal rights.
Whitney Houston
Throughout Aretha Franklin’s career, she has inspired several artists. One of them eventually became an iconic sensation, as well. This artist’s name was none other than Whitney Houston. Even after her unfortunate passing, Houston’s legacy in the music industry remains strong – she was even named the Most Awarded Female Act of All Time in 2009. Besides singing, Houston had a chance to land an acting credit for several films. Among the many movies she starred in, perhaps the singer’s most notable role is arguably alongside Kevin Costner in The Bodyguard. For the film, Houston also lent her singing talents for the soundtrack of the film. The song I Will Always Love You is still one of the best-selling singles worldwide.
Diana Ross
Perhaps in another world, we would’ve seen another version of The Bodyguard. Before the film became a hit thanks to the amazing chemistry between Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner, its production crew had another duo in mind: Diana Ross and Steve McQueen. Although the plan didn’t push through, Ross still became a popular artist nonetheless. Among her many records, the singer is quite well-known for her hit songs like Ain’t No Mountain High Enough and I’m Coming Out. With that said, although her ongoing career spans over six decades, it’s safe to say that Diana Ross is still far from running out of gas.
