Whose that girl?


She had a great voice. Powerful. Vivid. What all the kids on American Idol aspire to be.

And she really never got her just due like so many of those great black musicians of that era.

I mean Ike Turner is only known for his management techniques.

Whose that girl?

I can't really pull off the nerd look. ;-)
