Live Band Karaoke last nite Feb 7th, 2011
Man..it was a blast last nite singing at Roscoes's Live Band Karaoke. The band was so in alignment with me last night! We were groovin' to "Rock With You". It was one of those nights where you and the band are completely "in sync"! There were a lot of young peeps dancing and grooving in the aisles to the performance too, which makes it all the more satisfying. I sing Brandy's version of "Rock With You" which she did on the Quincy Jones' "Jook Joint" album. I love doing this version, because it has a cool R&B feel to the phrasing. Lots of freedom in the syncopated phrasing of the lyrics. Lots of "Oooo Chile's" and "Baby Baby's". I really felt like the band felt the grooving rhythm of the song last night. I absolutely had such a good time...many fun moments!!!

A lot of my syncopated R&B singing style comes from the influences of many incredible women soul singers like, Gladys Knight, Patti Labelle, Dionne Warwick, and of course none other than young Brandy herself!
