Queen Latifah - The Dana Owens Album

Queen Latifah Sings

Queen Latifah's new collection of standards, The Dana Owens Album, began with a request from above. "My momma said it's time to sing, and I always listen to my momma," says Latifah, born Dana Owens. "Actually, I sang all my life. And between the movie Living Out Loud and Chicago, I felt like the timing was good to go ahead and do this."

Released today, the twelve-track album includes collaborations with Al Green and Herbie Hancock and, while favoring jazz standbys, also includes blues and rock covers like Screaming Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You" and the Mamas and Papas' "California Dreamin'."

I like her, I don't know why exactly. I am interested in hearing her cd. Am I the only one here that feels that way?? I guess my musical tastes are a little different that you bunch-o-liberals.

I listen to a little bit of everything. Jazz, Rock, Metal, Pop, Doo Wop, Oldies, Country, Instrumental.........

2 things I can't listen to.......Rap.......and liberals.

I wonder if Queen Latifah will vote for Kerry?!?!
