At PJMedia, Stephen Green asserts<\/a>:<\/p>\n

This one might only be underappreciated by PJ Media\/Townhall readers because while it sold well and earned a Grammy, I’m guessing we don’t have a whole lot of Queen Latifah fans around here. If we do, please speak up now.<\/p>\n

Ya know, I bought both The Dana Owens Album<\/em> and Queen Latifah’s other jazzy album relatively recently (in 2021<\/a>) which means I can correct VodkaPundit when he says:<\/p>\n

Latifah recorded a follow-up album three years later, “Travelin’ Light.” The second album maybe isn’t as consistent as “The Dana Owens Album.” But its high points \u2014 including Phoebe Snow’s “Poetry Man” and Bessie Smith’s “Need A Little Sugar In My Bowl” \u2014 reach every bit as high.
