    	Depends on how "Light" you are talking about?
    
    	I recommend: (Just about any album by...)
    
    		Loreena McKennitt  (Very light. She also plays the harp.)
    		Enya (Light. I think she is Loreena M.'s sister??)
    		Curved Air (My personal favorite but VERY hard to find.)
    		Heart (Some of their lighter stuff never made top 40.)
    		Renaissance (An often overlooked and forgotten band that
    		             probably never got the recognition that they
    			     deserved. Nice female vocals.  The LP that I
    			     would recommend: Scheherazade & other tales.)
    		Celine Dion(Sp?) (Well, I like her, not sure why.)
    		Sade	    (Nice, night club sounding, to me anyway.)
    
    
    	Most of these (except maybe Heart) are off the beaten path which is
    what I thought you might be looking for.  Someone else can put the long
    list of pop singers (Madonna, Mariah Carey, etc...) here for you.
    You have to admit, this is a wide catagory request here....

562.2MANTHN::EDDBusted, down in New Orleans...Tue Nov 23 1993 10:527
    Janis Siegel - "Experiment In White"
    
    A sophisticated album from one of today's masters. From the upbeat
    cover of "Jackie" to the smokey ambiance of "Guess Who I Saw Today"
    this collection is sheer delight.

    re: GTI & Sade
    
    Skip it. If you've heard "Smooth Operator" you've heard every track.
    Blahblah-m7, blahblah-m7, ect...

562.14Some folk flavored galsDEMON::MANNWed Nov 24 1993 19:3610
    Maura O'Connell has a nice voice.  I saw her open for Jonathan Edwards
    a couple years ago.
    
    Shawn Colvin is another good one.  I've got her "Steady On" and "Fat
    City" releases.  I've heard some people complain that a lot of her
    material sounds the same, but I like her voice.
    
    Some others: Patti Larkin, early Suzanne Vega, Emmylou Harris

562.15my 2 favoritesVAXWRK::STHILAIREsmog might turn to stars somedayMon Nov 29 1993 13:468
    I love Maria McKee's voice.  Her most recent album is "You Gotta Sin To
    Be Saved" and it has some really good songs on it.
    
    I, also, like all Stevie Nicks solo albums.  Her Greatest Hits is a
    nice overview.

562.19Gloria and Bev.HGRD01::STEVELIUTue Dec 07 1993 05:047
    
    I recommend Gloria Estafan and Beverley Craven.
    
    They are extreme talented composers as well, all their hits are 
    written by themselves.
