You can't be from Miami and not throw in Betty Wright. LOL! Another female diva that comes to mind is Roberta Flack. And since you mentioned Toni Braxton, I'll have to include the GOAT -- Ms. Whitney Houston

Bruh, you killing me. “You got me”, “Coming where from Im from”, “Long Walk” and “Soul Sista”… one bad dude.

The first time I heard Meshell Ndegeocello it was her song “If that’s your boyfriend (he wasn’t last night)” … but she never got as big as her talent.

MeShell's Comfort Woman album is one of my favorites ever, as a female bassist she had some really slick & groovy pockets, she's also really great with harmonics which is a true testament of any Bass player.

The way she maneuvers in & out of notes on this record is mind blowing, she's playing tri-tones & fretting up scale at the same **** time.

And while were on the topic of Multi-instrumentalists Bassists, gotta put the U's very own Legend & Icon Jaco Pastorius.

This dude was **** Alien! His ability to hit elite level harmonics on a fretless bass is unmatched, without doubt one of the top 5-10 greatest bassists of All-time, with a very strong argument for #1, basically he's up there with Larry Graham, James Jamerson, Stanley Clarke, Robbie Shakespeare, Aston Barrett, Victor Wooten & Verdine White.

There probably isn't a more technically intricate player than Jaco, the man had a Doctorate in chord subbing progressions.

Dude you say a lot of stuff that’s 🎯 with me.

When that beat dropped for “License To Kill” I went crazy, I didn’t think she was gonna play it. Something about that song, I love it.

I was (pleasantly) surprised she went into the bag and dropped it. A masterful anthem that's a perfect blend of everything that's James Bond, but if somebody heard it for the first time and didn't know it was a 007 theme song, it'd absolutely be able to stand on its own.
