The 15 Song Album collection:

It is easy. Linda Ronstadt wins!

I agree with @techtool:


What a voice. :)

Songs with an unusually long and lovely vocal sustain

01 - Always - October Project
02 - Trouble Again - Linda Ronstadt (starting at 1:24 Linda holds the note for 10 sec.)
03 - Woman In Love - Barbra Streisand
04 - Money Changes Everything - Cindy Lauper
05 - Constant Craving - KD Lang
06 - Clocks and Clouds - National Health (with the amazing Amanda Parsons)
07 - The Dark Night of the Soul - Loreena McKennitt
08 - Hokus Pokus - Focus (live from Focus at the Rainbow)
09 - A-ha - Summer Moved On (20 seconds)
10 - Moonshine - Shawn Phillips
11 - I'm not in Love - 10CC
12 - Longer - Dan Fogelberg
13 - Lovely Day - Bill Withers
14 - Dim All The Lights - Donna Summer
15 - Mi Ranchito Triste - Linda Ronstadt

Makes it look flippin' EFFORTLESS on sustain. The sign of a true PROFESSIONAL, IMO!

Of course it is NOT. Takes PRACTISE and GIFTEDNESS.

New Theme.

Modernish Songs that conceal great melodic Classical melody:
