I'm a big fan of Queen Latifah, the singer/actress and former rapper. Truth be told, I was never really a fan of her rap music, but I started watching her "Living Single" TV show from 1993 to 1998. on Fox. When I saw her as Matron "Mama" Morton in the film "Chicago" in 2002 I realized how talented a singer she is. Then in 2004 she came out with her first soul jazz/standards album, The Dana Owens Album, which I found fantastic. Her 2007 follow up album Travlin' Light was a fun collection of music styles. She continues to appear in a number of films, building up an impressive resume of acting credits. Queen Latifah has been spotted dining in Palm Springs several times, one of these days I hope to run into her downtown and sip martinis together at a swank lounge...
I went to see Queen Latifah in concert back in November when she brought her show to the Palm Springs area. I looked her in the eyes from my front row seat while she sang; she seemed to really enjoy herself while performing. Anyway I've decided that she is one of my favorite contemporary vocalists. Not sure who she is? Check this out:
