Even though she's from the Aretha Franklin school, she has that good ol' gritty southern vibe in her music.

I only have her "Woman To Woman" which is wearing me the hell out

If you get the "Diva of soul" album, let me know what you think of it...

The only thing I heard from that album was her revisited rendition of "Woman to woman" which was aimed against Death Row's Jewel.

Her voice was MUCH stronger than the former 1974 rendition.

Btw, are you familiar with Ruby Turner?

She`s a very talented, very underrated singer from the UK...

Not the best clip, but it gives you an impression.

I think I heard of her.

I love the opening rap.....

Hello, may I speak to Barbara
Barbara, this is Shirley
You might not know who I am
But the reason I am
Calling you is because

I was going through my
Old man's pockets this morning
And I just happened to
Find your name and number

So woman to woman
I don't think it's being
Any more than fair to call you
And let you know where
I'm coming from

Now Barbara, I don't know
How you're gonna take this
But whether you be cool or
Come out of a bag on me
You see it doesn't really
Make any difference

But it's only fair
That I let you know that
The man you're in love with
He;s mine

From the top of his head
To the bottom of his feet
The bed he sleeps in and
Every piece of food he eats

you see I make it possible
The clothes on his back
Ha ha, I buy them
The car he drives
I pay the note every month

So I'm telling you these things
To let you know how much
I love this man and woman to woman
I think you'll understand
How much I'll do to keep him

You have to hear the revisited rendition from this album...


When Jewel from Death Row sang "Woman To Woman", Miss Brown re-recorded the song with a new twist, calling out Jewel's name, talking shit in the phone machine about "oh no dahling, this ain't your mother" and then sang the motherfucker like its her LAST day in the recording booth.
