First off, I'm not even sure if you can be technical about ethereality, but you help me compile a list of songs that feature women who are not just mysterious, not just intriguing, but also in some way maddeningly elusive?
To illustrate by example, here are some titles:
Laura (Raskin/Mercer) - Dick Haymes
Ruby Tuesday - The Rolling Stones
Girl - The Beatles
She's Not There - The Zombies
My Cherie Amour - Stevie Wonder
I'm Mandy, Fly Me - 10cc...
But I seem to be stuck in the 1970s!
Please help me add to this list; I'm feeling a bit Hornby.

Vanishing Girl - The Dukes of Stratosphear
She - Charles Aznavour

The most ethereal woman I think I have ever heard was one Patricia Clark, a soprano whose voice floated above many of Norrie Paramor’s light orchestral albums of the 1950s and 1960s.
But we won’t hear her now. Instead, if you’ll allow us, perhaps Perez Prado will fill the bill:

You can't get much more elusive and ethereal than

How about Dick Powell singing "The Girl on the Police Gazette."?
