Norah Jones, born on March 30th 1979 in New York City, is one of the most popular jazz and jazz-influenced singers of our time. She was a member of Wax Poetic before her debut album Come Away With Me. She can still be heard singing with them on two tracks of their release, Nublu Sessions.

Her debut album Come Away With Me sold 18 million copies worldwide and won 5 Grammy Awards in 2003.

Her second album, Feels Like Home, with folk tendency, is the highest-selling album in the history of Blue Note Records with over a million copies sold within the first week. Norah Jones was listed among the most influential people of 2004 by the Time Magazine.

On January 30, 2007 Norah Jones released her third album, Not Too Late - a collection of 13 original songs, itunes includes a bonus live track of the song Sinkin’ Soon. This was the most pre-ordered album of all time on Amazon.com.

The daughter of The Beatles-influencing sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar, Jones doesn’t closely follow any particular genre, rather she brings her unique jazzy flavor to songs with roots in country, folk, Americana, and modern light jazz and pop.

I use female vocals, male vocals, male and female vocals... and instrumental, just out of a statistical curiosity... but I know a lot of people use one of the tags... and not any of the others... Strange... I don't see much point in that.

cowardclaws, truer words have never been spoken. I've used that tag once and that was for the band arch enemy because sadly far too many people don't realize and or don't want to accept the fact that the singer is a chick..

What's with the 'female vocalists' tags? Even if it weren't obvious, I don't see the point. It's like some people find it so quaint they need to point it out to themselves and others. Must seem kind of condescending if you're female.
