      It's not a race. For instance:
      Fred McDowell ( or just about any early blues singer)
      Janis Joplin
      Amy Winehouse
      Shane McGowan
      Iris Dement (especially Couer d'Alene or Our Town)
      And so it goes.

      It's not a race, and on top of that try these:
      Just about any early blues singers
      Billy Holiday
      Janis Joplin
      Shane McGowan
      Amy Winehouse
      Iris Dement (especially Easy's Gettin' Harder Every Day)
      And on and on. And so it goes.
