Pat Benatar, Sarah McLachlan, Linda Rhonstadt, Enya. These female vocalists all have perfect pitch and perfect voices and with the right song, can be very moving to listen to. Patti Smyth did a great duet with Don Henley and some great songs of her own. Classical music can also be very moving with Chopin's minor music being very emotional or Bach or Beethoven.
