Amy Winehouse - Black and White
Tori Amos - Winter
Joni Mitchell - Blue
Sarah MacLachlan - Surfacing
Norah Jones - Come Away With Me
Cat Power - The Greatest
Regina Spektor - Begin to Hope
I know this is weighted to more recent but still most of the best...but I'd have to put...out of these singers and their signature albums...
1A. Tori
1B. Joni
3. Norah
4. Sarah
5. Amy
6. Cat
7. Regina
Regardless, it's a lot of must own soulful albums by women.

Joni is easily #1

The gold standard for such albums is Tapestry by Carole King. That included the #1 hits "It's Too Late" and "So Far Away", "I Feel The Earth Move", "You've Got A Friend", "Smackwater Jack" and her version of the ever popular "Will You Love Me Tomorrow".
It came out WAY BACK in 1971, and ranks as one of the best selling albums ever.

My personal favorite of those you listed is Cat Power.

Of course, I'm assuming you know that Carole King did write this song (with Gerry Goffin)
One of my faves is Stevie Nicks "Bella Donna".

Natalie Merchant--"Tigerlilly"
Posted on 9/11/16 at 10:28 pm to Marco Esquandolas
Tigerlilly and Tapestry are two of the greatest IMO

Janis Ian Between the Lines
Bobbie Gentry The Delta Sweete
Buffy St.Marie Illuminations
Not a songwriter but a great album.

This list is incomplete without Patty Griffin somewhere on it.

Brandi Carlile- The Firewatchers Daughter
Posted on 9/12/16 at 8:30 am to mizzoubuckeyeiowa
Gillian Welch.

Any list that doesn't mention Carole King's Tapestry or any Joan Baez album is suspect, but I do appreciate the Joni Mitchell representation.

Iris DeMent
Gillian Welch
Lucinda Williams
Allison Krauss (though her stuff is band driven and cowritten by Dan T, I believe).
Taylor Swift (sorry, I had to).

Yes.
And if you're going to throw out Taylor Swift, then I'll mention Vanessa Carlton. Most of her songs are pretty sappy but she does have a good voice and isn't shabby on the piano.

Yeah, Carole King and Carly Simon are better than all the non-Joni Mitchell choices on your list.
Yeah, I'm old buddy, wanna fight about it?

I now and have always wanted Natalie Merchant to sing me to sleep. Not even in a sexual way. Although mid 10000 Maniacs peak she was pretty good.
I just want her in a comfy (she's getting older) chair at the corner of my bed. Just singing. Her voice has so many layers.

Jewel's "Pieces of You" is a fantastic album.
