I love it! It's healing; it's cleansing; it's communicative; it's telling; it's vibrant and moody.I love Anita Baker - I own all her CDs. Luther has never failed me. Aretha can always jam with me - Chain, Chain! Diana Krall loves to croon for me. Eva Cassidy blows my mind. Celia Cruz always moves me. Marvin has taught me a lot. Beyoncé, Kelly and Michelle make me bounce. Lauryn Hill - and her former Fugees partners - make me think. Tracy Chapman is enchanting. Kirk Franklin, Yolanda Adams and Donnie McKlurkin lift me higher. Marvin and CC Winans take me there. Natalie Cole grooves me. Missy Elliott, Kanye West and Jay-Z get the party started. Whitney and Mariah are amazing.Those are just a few.
