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.

    I gave this much thought last time and couldn't decide because I think you'd need a balance. However if I just dive in and think of it as a "supergroup" then Bobby Gentry, Julia Driscoll, Alison Moyet,  PP Arnold, Thelma Houston. But I think that might be too much diva. 

    Edit: I need to reconsider. You can't have a group of all lead singers!
