It's May, and time for my monthly feature for 5 on Friday -- The Hit Makers.

Once a month I'm going to feature the songs that launched careers. I'll be looking at different musical styles and the groups or singers from those styles who I love the best.

This month, let's look ahead to Mother's Day. Here are five of my favorite female vocalists who are also moms.


1 - Why Don't You Do Right? -- Peggy Lee with Benny Goodman -- 1942

Mom to daughter Nicki







2 - Aguas de Marco (Waters of March) -- Elis Regina with Tom Jobim -- 1974

Mom to sons Joao and Pedro, and daughter Maria Rita 







3 - Sweet Dreams(Are Made of This) -- Annie Lennox of  Eurythmics -- 1983

Mom to daughters Lola and Tali







4 - Smooth Operator -- Sade -- 1985

Mom to daughter Ila








5 - Rolling in the Deep -- Adele -- 2010
