Anyone who checked out last night’s Soul Train Music Awards saw a relatively new voice step to the fore. This lovely young lady, Leah Labelle, appeared in a medley of Soul Train greats which included Blue Eyed soul legend Teena Marie. We have to be honest that based on her looks alone, we had to take a further listen. When digging for more of this singer, we came across several examples of her vocal abilities, which we have to say are quite impressive. She is not blowing you away like Fantasia (who won Season 3 of American Idol, on which Leah appeared) or similarly named Patti Labelle, but she does an impressive job at delivering a soul classic first sung by The Stylistics. Enjoy and look forward to seeing and hearing more from this young lady since she has been working with Jermaine Dupris and Pharrell Williams.
