FEEL THE LOVE

The first concert that I ever went to was Diana Ross. I was an adult at the time and I saw her in Charlotte, NC. I saw her again in Greensboro NC years later. Diana’s voice, her glamorous nature, her acting, etc. easily appealed to the fandom of a lot of people, especially people of color. I’ve been a fan for years. Even to this day, DIANA can still command an audience. I brought all of this up to say that a couple of days ago, a buddy of mine texted me this song and I really had no idea that Diana’s daughter Tracee Ellis Ross could sing like this. If one were to close their eyes, they could certainly hear Diana Ross. I knew Tracee could act and really make people laugh with her quick wit, but the singing part definitely took me to another level. Years ago, I was watching a video of Diana Ross in Vegas (I think it was Vegas). At that concert, The elder ross pulled Tracee up on stage to sing “Lady Sings the Blues”. I thought then that Tracee could sing but certainly not on this level. Obviously this movie “The High Note” has been out for 2-3 years and maybe even longer. I never got the memo and just heard this song just a couple of days ago. This is what I’m grooving to at the moment as I “LOVE MYSELF”. Enjoy your Labor Day!
