Singing that leaves you speechless - I love the upbeat / Northern releases on Loma but my heart and soul is lost to Linda Jones' ballad gems - sweet perfection
No Dout She was & is a of The Greatest Of Soul Singers Someone (Spike Lee) need to Make a Movie about Her(Jennifer Hudson) real soon, Linda Jones pure Greatness.
@SoulPowerful each human has a distinct voice (like a fingerprint) so in theory it's impossible to duplicate or imitate anyone's voice. There is a similarity in Teena and Linda and that comes from some of their stylistic choices. Both of these women both used the melisma in which they would create a run of many notes from one syllable. I believe it would be safe to say that Teena Marie was influenced by Linda Jones.
Thanx 4 the songs... I've got the Whatnauts albums and it looks like she 's got the same band and musicians. I'm gonna buy her albums whenever I can...
