20 Years Ago, Patti LaBelle, Natalie Cole & Sheila E. Joined Forces on The West Side Story's "America"
"The Songs Of The West Side Story" was an interesting concept album, featuring many of the 90's biggest stars recreating just that, songs of the west side story. The album features a wide variety of artists, some donating new songs, some recycling already covered versions. The stand out track "America" combines the talents of three legendary Divas into a 6 minute extravaganza. Patti LaBelle, Natalie Cole and Sheila E. join forces and create a true masterpiece. Join them on their journey to "America"....
Patti LaBelle
It is quite the ride to "America" these ladies take us on! The song starts off with over a minute of instrumental build up that ends with a burst of a drum solo, by the brilliantly talanted drummer Sheila E. of course. She pounds on those bad boys the whole way through the song, providing some excellent vocals along the way. Natalie Cole and Patti LaBelle takes turns perspectively on the first verse, both serving up their signature sass. The song then takes off to the big chorus, full of big voices, big drums, big personalities! The song never let's up from this point on. An adrenaline rush of three loud ladies singing their hearts out in front of a booming choir. You must check it out for yourself if you haven't already!
Natalie Cole
Natalie Cole is a 4 Decade Diva this year. Her beautiful voice has entertained the world for decades, a common theme in her family. We unfortunately lost this extremely talented Queen Diva last year, but her voice will live on, and she and her father, Nat King Cole, will always remain "Unforgettable". More from the talented Natalie Cole to come on The Queens Collective.
Sheila E.
