often times we forget our women...in music

millie jackson...if loving you is wrong...i don't want to be right....
(first r&b female to begin her songs with monolouges)
In January of 1975, Jackson released an album that would introduce what would later become her trademark rap style of racy, raunchy language; her audience loved it. The album was Caught Up and the featured release was "If Loving You Is Wrong I Don't Want to Be Right," for which she received two Grammy nominations. Jackson openly admits that she never had singing lessons and never thought she could sing. Consequently, she began to talk (or what was commonly known at the time as rap) on her songs in a blunt, candid manner to make up for the shortcoming.

and Janis Joplin
"Pearl" album, Janis Joplin. ... "Cry Baby" is also one of Janis' most amazing vocal performances. ... along with a very amusing rap midway thru the song.) ...
