"Miss Celie's Blues (Sister)", Tata Vega

[velcro]

From the soundtrack of The Color Purple. Shug Avery sings this to Celie in Harpo's honkytonk.

I really love the bluesy earthiness to this song... and Tata Vega's vocals are phenomenal. My gf loves to play this on the piano, I've been trying to get her to sing as well... but no luck so far.

This is a really good song. Written by Lionel Richie, if I remember correctly. It's a pretty powerful tune, especially in the context of the movie.
Man, the Color Purple was a great movie! And the soundtrack was pretty good as well...

Oh, Thank You! A reply. I was begining to think I may have been the only one who knew the song. And yes, The Color Purple is excellent!
