Durning an era of music where black consciousness was being brought through to you via your local radio station, there was a young Texan woman who could do nothing but captivate your ear. The sweet alto of Erykah Badu could do know wrong. She spoke for women with grace and she respected the role of her male counterpart in every lyric she put forth. On or off stage, her energy was that of a Queen who had everything to gain by spreading the word of truth to everyone who could listen. Her single "The Other Side Of The Game" spoke of a life that many had endured but very few were willing to talk about. It is forever a classic in Soul Music!
