    This is a lovely collection of singers. Where would we be as a society without all those incredible voices?

    A wonderful diversity of musicians. With the recent death of Roberta Flack I imagine she will be joining the all time greats on a USA stamp in the future.

      I hope so - these days copyright issues have apparently led to challenges acquiring rights to images of recording artists

      That would be so sad. It is a great honour to be on a stamp

      I have never heard of heirs not wanting someone to appear on a stamp but... who knows?

      Apparently it is one of the reasons there have been few music legend stamps in recent years (Michael Jackson, Prince, Whitney Houston)

    How nice to have a theme, and so many women musicians to fit it! I have a couple of the US 1994 ones.
