Since timeless to me is listenable to any generation, or at least a portion therof; I would pick a few to augment all the excellent choices above.
I suppose the fact that some of them have done the currently popular modern recordings thing of old American standards by out-of-their-normal-style artists begs the question; they nonetheless are high in my shortlist.
Nat and Natalie Cole ( when singing stds. )
Rod Stewart "
Linda Ronstadt "
Lannie Garret "
This in addition to the folk favourites and others already mentioned above. Since I don't think we limited the genre to folk, the above are in addition to the folk favourites of mine as well - GL, JT, Joni, Carole, Ian & Sylvia, etc. Good thread idea Gitchigumee....
