What female musicians do you admire ?

I see a lot of very mundane women mentioned yet no sign of Royalty like Kate Bush and Siouxie of Banshee fame .
As for great Queens like Ella and the Holliday girl — not a peep.
Ella was amazing. Saw her perform at the Hollywood Bowl 3 times and each show sold out.

I remember seeing her fall on stage in 1986, and she jumped up right away and said:

"I really fell for my audience"

Classic.
 
This one is known on Youtube, but not mainstream as far as I know. Posted the last three because the OP calls for instruments. But it is her one-woman acapella that I admire the most.
