The Queens of R&B…

These are my girls right here! These are the Sisters of R&B. They are a prime representation of what R&B / Soul music is. I’ve seen Patti Labelle perform, but I haven’t seen Dionne Warick or Gladys Knight LIVE in person. However, I listen to ALL of their music and I’ll admit, I even have it on my I-Pod! Ballroom dancing is a big part of my life, dancing in general always has.  Dancing slow or dancing fast, like my favorite, the Hustle; has always allowed me to appreciate these women. These are true American singers and will always be.

Listening to Dionne’s “Do You Know the Way to San Jose,” Patti LaBelle’s ”You Are My Friend,” and Ms. Knight’s “On That Midnight Train to Georgia,” truly show this genre of music to it’s highest degree. I’m 21 years old and I love these women. They actually bring you to tears when they sing because of the passion they express while they are singing.
