Karaoke songs in Western music that are easy for women in their 60s to sing. World-famous classics and recommended popular songs (1–10)
It’s So EasyLinda Ronstadt
A female musician who was active from the 1970s to the 1980s.
With overwhelming vocal power, a stunning figure, and a coquettish charm, Linda kept captivating audiences.
This single comes from the period when she was really on a roll.
Of course, she went on to keep challenging various genres and continued to thrive, but Linda during this era was truly the best.
The RoseBette Midler
Commercial songs are often used as TV drama theme songs or insert songs, so few people may know that this beautiful piece is actually the theme song of a film modeled on the turbulent half-life of Janis Joplin.
For those who know Janis’s life, both the song and the film are special and naturally bring tears to your eyes.
The setting in which the protagonist, Rose, dies on stage seems to convey the creators’ tribute to Janis, who passed away in a hotel room—and that, too, makes you cry.
Hail Holy QueenDeloris Van Cartier
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.
Cnce Upon A Time In CaliforniaBelinda Carlisle
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.
ClockworkLaufey
Thanks to the recent revival boom, music genres that once dominated the mainstream are back in the spotlight.
“Clockwork” can be considered one of those tracks.
Crafted as an authentic piece of standard jazz, it’s sung within a narrow vocal range, true to the genre.
Unlike modern jazz, the rhythm remains steady, so as long as you focus on delivering it with a solid, bluesy feel, it should be approachable for anyone to sing smoothly.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
Even if (I’m) wet in the rainB.J.Thomas
An insert song from the film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, which was based on two real-life bank robbers.
If you think about it rationally, it’s just a story about rough, villainous thieves with no room for sympathy, but Paul Newman and Robert Redford as Butch and Sundance are cool to the end, and Katharine Ross as the heroine, Etta, was beautiful.
There’s a bucolic scene where they, rushing headlong toward ruin, briefly enjoy a moment of peace to the backdrop of this song; along with the shocking final freeze-frame, it has stayed with me strongly.
The tune is breezy and bright, so I want to sing it with a sense of fun and humor.
Hey JudeThe Beatles
Released as the first single from Apple Records and included on the compilation album of the same name, the song “Hey Jude” was written by Paul McCartney to comfort John Lennon’s son, Julian Lennon.
It is also known as an unusually long ballad for pop music, running over seven minutes.
Overall, the vocal range is narrow and easy to sing, but the melody rises and falls sharply, so take care not to miss the notes.
With a chorus that repeats at the end and invites a crowd sing-along, it’s a heartwarming number.
