Hello fellow Vox pals. It's been a while, I know. Just popping in to say "Hey!" and share some videos. YouTube is still my television, but I think I'd like the real thing, too. TVs are definitely not a priority in my life right now, but it would be nice to watch Oprah and Ugly Betty every now and then.

She sold me, particularly by invoking the legacy of Sarah Vaughan. Definitely this and Chaka Khan's latest "Funk This" are must haves. In fact, Kenyon recently mentioned these and some others on his blog, too. (By the way, I heard that Meshell's new CD has KUDU's dynamic drummer Deantoni Parks all over it.) And more - Donnie, Ledisi - there's a lot of great music out there.

And while we wait to hear more on the new Labelle project:

Patti Labelle: "Lady Marmalade/Get You Somebody New"

Until next time, "Let Me Borrow That Top!"
