Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice.

C'mon, lot's of nice voices and talent mentioned, but none of these more unusual than Eartha Kitt, right?

I'd say pretty uniquely mesmerizing as well.

Ana Gasteyer

Martha Davis of The Motels. I can still hear her sultry voice on "Change My Mind" on the All Four One album.

How about Ema Sumac, the "Peruvian Princess" who's heyday was primarily in the 50's when she was an international star with a 4-5 octave range. Whether you consider her voice mesmerizing or not, she is/was to her many fans. One thing for sure though her unique voice has got to rank up there with anyone in the unusual category. Then you factor in her beauty which makes watching her, whether a fan or not, much easier.

Kat Edmonson, I would add a you tube link but you'd be better off checking her out on Austin City Limits this Saturday, an encore presentation with Norah Jones in the first half of the show.
