Queen Latifah, The Dana Owens Album. Queen
Lafiah is all grown up. What a pleasure to hear real R&B with a
dash of swing. Remember when Billie Holiday, Dorothy Dandridge and
Lena Horne were “queen”? Ms. Owens
brings us home to some real music. (****)
Ray Charles, Genius Loves Company. What a legacy. Ray has joined forces
with a diverse group to perform some timeless music. (***)
