Fantasy Female Travelling Wilburys.

Been listening to The Travelling Wilburys today, they were 5 male musicians who formed a group, non needed fame or fortune. There wasn’t the normal in-house fighting as none had anything to prove. They were the cream of the crop.

The original group was 5 members, it got me thinking as to a female Willburys,  Who would sit at the top table?

My group would start with….

  1. Dusty Springfield, just perfect.
  2. Karen Carpenter. Note perfect and a good drummer.
  3. Cher, definitely gets a seat at the table, also brilliant actor.
  4. Dolly Parton, a brilliant singer and songwriter.
  5. Ella Fitzgerald, just the best.

If a backing group was allowed then

  1. K.D Lang.
  2. Alison Krauss
  3. Annie Lennox

I could add many more, what would your female Wilburys be? 
No particular genre, any style of music that would become the ultimate female band of music goddesses.

  • OMG Roy you are so cool ^^

    This is so cool and imagine if it really had happened - maybe it is happening in Heaven? :–) 

    I think mine would be

    1. Whitney Houston - very powerful voice
    2. Dua lipa - deeper but soft voice
    3. Tina Turner - just because she was awesome ^^ 
    4. Stevie Nicks - deep husky voice
    5. Enya 

    In my head this is possible and it sounds awesome :) 

  • Yes, I could see all of those harmonising, I would add Aretha Franklin for a powerful track.

    What about Kate Bush?

  • Great shout ^^ 

    I love Kate Bush she would be great in my group!

    I might have to replace Dua lipa

    Sorry Dua XD

  • I do like the Dua song with Elton John, I recently watched the original, ”A Star is Born” with Judy Garland, the remake was Barbra Streisand and then Gaga, where do you start, and how far back? 
    I’ve always found music a hiding and learning place. There are only 7 notes plus flats and sharps also chords with minor, major and sevenths. Just a few. How different songs are still being made is mind blowing.
