First of all, I would advise you to listen to Lizz Wright's albums. But you can also check the work from Rachelle Ferrell, KEM, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Carmen McRae, Nina Simone, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Nat King Cole, Dianne Reeves, Al Jarreau, George Benson, Lina, Chet Baker, Anita Baker, Sade, Diana Krall, Randy Crawford, Patti Austin, Regina Belle, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott etc. Michael Franks is more Pop-oriented but it's fine too.

Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Carmen McRae, Deedee Bridgewater, Billie Holiday, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong.

If you love smooth jazz, check out pianists Keith Jarrett, Abdullah Ibrahim, McCoy Tyner etc.

Try Jane Monheit and Dianne Reeves. I think the best modern jazz singers are Kurt Elling and Tierney Sutton.

Be warned: I hate "Smooth" synthesized jazz. I like to hear piano and/ or guitar, accoustic bass, and drums. with a few horn players, but no strings or synths.

Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday are some nice classical jazz singers as well.

Susie Arioli is great (kind of a Canadian Norah, but she's been around longer). You can find her stuff on amazon.com.
Kurt Elling is good. My brother introduced me to his stuff.
Try Diana Krall's 'Love Scenes' cd.
