Kendall was wiser than to ask for "the BEST" of the lot; there would be no justifiable way to even begin to narrow down a list of stellar people like we've built up. I skimmed thru again to verify that Peggy Seeger has been mentioned; I've just been listening to some of her great stuff.

Ann Briggs in the late 60s and very early 70s was superb. There was an excellent singer from Yorkshire, pretty much a contemporary of Ann Briggs called Janet Jones. Amongst the US singers, Hedy West.
