Everybody knows this chic, she was the main vocal force behind the Shug Avery character from the Color Purple movie

Thank you for posting this, I did not know her and as soon as I heard the first seconds of that song I loved it. I just ordered the vinyl from Ebay.

Thanks for sharing.

And here's one for you:

I Just Keep Thinking About You Baby!

Harle, thanks for answering a question I'd often had about Shug's singing.

I thought it was a known thing and you're welcome, my sweet

Her voice is something to hear, alright

She can pull the "horn" sound quite easily

I didn`t know that

And Harlepolis, answer my Totally Tata thread, i`m so curious about the album...

I think this song was originally recorded by the Average White Band with Ben E. King

I had no idea she was Shug's voice. I learn something new every day.

I love that one and also "Whopper Bopper Show Stopper" from the same album.
