Lisa, Carrie, Patsy and Dusty yes......
In the contemporary worls Carrie Underwood has produced more and gone FAR beyond what anyone thot she would have. As much as I dislike what they call country now, she's the best of the brew.

Here is a song written by the great Maestro Michel Legrand entitled "On my way to you" and this song has been sang by 4 women who have had the honor to work with him. 4 masterclass singers and vocalists of all time.

Barbra Streisand https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxSm7D0Uy-o
Maureen McGovern https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Shlg1zZoT0k
Nancy LaMott https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vxp7NFtjq1Y

and my personal favorite, the Asia's Songbird Regine Velasquez who Legrand called the voice from the heavens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMWOFVopJSI
