[Daved]

It's from the Dana Owens Album CD released last year. Mostly jazz stuff (no rap) and it's pretty good.

I should think she did she wrote it and is the one who is known for it we currently play a lovely version by Darius on Chartmaker that Ali has mentioned on here before which is quite delightful and propbably my favourite version at the moment

As for Queen Latifah, some of my favorites by her are "Wrath of My Madness", "The Evil that Men do, and "Princess of the Posse". I really rate her early rap sides, so I'd be curious to hear her singing. She's really come a long way since 1988.

"Hello Stranger" is a great song and I usually like every version. There is a nice version by Carrie Lucas from 1985 on Constellation/MCA and one of my favorites is the Alpha Zoe version on HIT. I included it on my midtempo swap CD.

JOT-I'd like to hear the version you and Ali are playing.

My favorite version of this is a Reggae version by Frankie Zhivago Young. Pure bliss, with the best brass arrangement ever on vinyl. (in my opinion). Taken from his LP with " Somebody Stole My Love" on.

I like her "hard times "track she sings almost the same as the vocalist on Dr Buzzards real savanah bands stuff.Which I would love to hear "I 'll play the fool"played out again.In fact Ive just dug it out and it sounds great

Going to have to do some digging - I have a US test pressing of her "Mr. Big Stuff" on Motown with an uncredited soulful vocal on the flip - was it on the issue?

Jerry.

P.S. always used to like "Mama gave birth to the soul children" meself!
