This woman’s voice is like Nina Simone and Lucinda Williams had a bastard child. Not sure what she is singing about, but I am sure it is pain, love and desire.

I always liked Billy Holliday. My favorite ethnic singer is Heather Headley. I watched her sing with Andre Bocelli last year in Orlando. He’s blind, doesn’t see color, and has a beautiful wife. Bocelli & Headley sang eye to eye in tears. The audience cried & gave a long standing ovation.
