In my top ten female vocalists of all time. Great singing for me has very little to do with technical ability and a hell of a lot to do with character and charm. This is what makes a singer like Nico stand out from the crowd. She had this unique, low, smooth, husky breath of a voice and somehow she sang with incredible credibilty. This song is from the Chelsea Girl album from 1967. Some songs, like the title track, are growers so I chose this one, "The Fairest of the Seasons", as a representation due to it's instant accessibility. Look into her eyes and be hypnotised.
