THE TOP 50 GREATEST FEMALE ARTISTS OF ALL TIME


The black female entertainer has been an integral part in the fabric of American music and culture as well as the world since the development of the entertainment industry in the 19th century. In honor of this,  OUTSTAGN has polled the TOP 50 Black Female Music Artists of All Time. Whether its soul, R&B, gospel, disco, jazz, hip-hop or dance, we chose those female artists who have made a lasting impression in the music industry. To add some flavor to the list, there are also two female artists who would be considered "blue eyed" soul--white artists who sing with soul and have a huge urban/black audience following. The list was based on  influence in music, impact in music and/or music success in their fields and their legacy in the entertainment industry.


                                                              
BEFORE WE GET INTO THE TOP 50, WE WANTED TO GIVE HONORABLE MENTIONS TO THOSE FEMALE ARTISTS WHO RANKED (No. 60 to NO. 51)
