Happy Belated Birthday B, Ummm... We Mean Nancy!
Imagine Beyonce in "Dreamgirls" and you can't help but notice the striking resemblance to the legendary Nancy Wilson back in the day.
Celebrating her 70th birthday with fans and friends at New York's Carnegie Hall last Friday with Rufus Reid on bass, Ms. Wilson let the crowd now who's still the baddest in the game.
When she sang “Guess Who I Saw Today?” — in which the narrator delicately (and devastatingly) tells her husband that she saw him with another woman — she used all her old devices.
The yell came in the first two words of the title phrase, and they were the two loudest sounds of the evening. It doesn’t matter how calculated that gesture was; it did the job. Rows of people in the audience made simultaneous reflex motions, startled.
Show 'em how it's done Ms. Wilson! Beyonce, take note!
