Hayley Westenra – Amazing Grace

A super-famous hymn that everyone knows and needs no explanation.

Countless singers have performed it, but listening to it in Hayley’s clear, beautiful voice enhances the song’s appeal even more and inspires a deeper sense of reverence.

It’s a wonderful piece even when sung a cappella.

A love where we gaze into each other’s eyesHerman’s Hermits44rank/position

Staring Love [with Japanese Translation] — Herman's Hermits

The lead single from the British band Herman’s Hermits’ third album, who were active in the 1960s.

At one point, they were rising fast enough to rival the Beatles.

The song had a resurgence with the Carpenters’ cover.

If you want to sing it loosely and casually, the original version is recommended.

Peter Noone’s vocals are refreshing.

Hail Holy QueenDeloris Van Cartier45rank/position

Sister Act – Hail Holy Queen (Deloris and The Sisters)

Sister Act, a classic film that continues to be loved by many viewers, is a heartwarming music-centered movie in which a struggling singer transforms a convent choir so dramatically that she gradually gains recognition from the townspeople and the convent community.

The film features numerous iconic songs, and among them, the most memorable is surely Hail Holy Queen, the first piece performed by the newly evolved choir.

Although it’s a traditional Christian hymn, this rendition is arranged with a decidedly groovy and lively vibe.

As a choral piece, some parts feature frequent improvisational embellishments, but the basic main melody is fairly easy to sing—so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Just A Little Too MuchOlivia Newton-John46rank/position

Olivia Newton-John – Just A Little Too Much

Included on Olivia Newton-John’s second studio album, Olivia, released in 1972.

Since the album wasn’t issued on vinyl in Japan, it was later released there on CD.

The track, given the very on-the-nose Japanese title Koi no Kibun (“In the Mood for Love”), is actually a cover of a song originally released in the late 1950s by American singer Ricky Nelson, titled Just a Little Too Much.

While the original features a ’50s-style rock ’n’ roll sound, Olivia’s version is arranged as a light, early-career country-pop number.

Being an older song, the range isn’t as wide as in many of Olivia’s tracks, so it may be easier to sing for those who struggle with higher notes.

Cnce Upon A Time In CaliforniaBelinda Carlisle47rank/position

Anyone Who Had A Heart

Belinda Carlisle, a female singer who was active from the late ’80s to the early ’90s, is known for her distinctive voice—mysterious in that it carries the bright edge of a high register while also having the richness characteristic of overtones.

Her cover of “Anyone Who Had a Heart,” included on her album “Once Upon a Time in California,” is a classic by Dionne Warwick and is sung within a relatively narrow range, from mid2C to hiD.

Since the original is what it is, there’s a bit of a Black music flavor that remains, but it doesn’t demand any advanced riffs or runs.

If you focus on vibrato that aligns the overtones and frequencies with the off-beats, you should be able to achieve a very high-quality result.

Let’s PretendRaspberries48rank/position

Raspberries, “Let’s Pretend”

A signature song by the Raspberries, the band led in the early 1970s by Eric Carmen, a musical prodigy who had attracted attention since childhood during his idol years.

Many women must have let out excited screams at his sweet, melting vocals.

It’s a mellow track that’s also perfect for a female singer.

ChiquititaABBA49rank/position

ABBA – Chiquitita (Official Music Video)

One of ABBA’s signature songs with a Spanish-flavored arrangement, just like its title.

If, when you hit setbacks in life as the lyrics describe, you have a friend who stays by your side and quietly encourages you, you’re truly fortunate.

Around this time Agnetha had divorced Björn, yet she delivers the song without letting that show in the slightest—proof of a true professional.

It can also be heard as an anthem to rally yourself.

Perfect for group singing; even if part division is difficult, it should still sound beautiful in unison.
