Good songs for band with female vocalist?

Question

My band is reforming, and our vocalist (who is incredible at keyboards) is now gonna be in the right place. We have chosen a female vocalist and she has a great voice. I am curious if you have any suggestions for songs we can do. We like blues, rock, jazz, funk, stuff like that. And I'm not necessarily talking about songs sung by women (i.e. Heart). Any suggestions?
