Jennifer Holliday "Let Me Wait"

[@dallastexxasss8260]

and she's not even TRYING, just coming out naturalllllllllllllllllly.. a true singer

[@QuentH17]

Most soprano singers don’t have to try hard to hit most notes lol

[@dallastexxasss8260]

@@QuentH17 amen..

[@Edward_Strong1982]

@@QuentH17 that’s a lie . I sing in a gospel group for like 20 years and there are some LAZY sopranos out there trust me. And some have to project their voice more than others. Jennifer is definitely effortless

[@mrsmaul2010]

This is why I get annoyed when people hype up Cynthia Erivo. She has a nice voice but it is not the effortlessly powerhouse like Jennifer's

[@jameskirk1638]

That song is so hard to sing but she just effortlessly kills it!

[@damndredidthatt]

Just discovered this song about 10 minutes ago and I'm hooked

[@glencro]

Check out her entire first project "Feel My Soul"

[@chenab427]

I listen to it almost everyday. It lifts my mood!

[@fats69]

Omgggggggg me too!

[@HoneyKone]

I hope you took J Cross Photography’s advice and checked out her first project. “Feel My Soul” is a great album. It was produced by the late, great Maurice White of Earth Wind and Fire….and every song is worthy!!!

[@stevenmccants1]

BABY!….Jennifer Used to SANG IN THE 80’s Whew!

[@sharksport01]

Often imitated. Never duplicated.

[@TheLEGACY1980]

No one has a voice like Jennifer Holiday. The only one who can remotely come close to her power and clarity is Cheryl Lynn

and Jocelyn Brown

Saw her live back then she is amazing pure power. The night I saw her she was the warm up for a "bigger name"act. When she finished more than half the auditorium left they knew they had just seen the best they were going to see that night.

[@imanking2814]

She sings so effortlessly and you can hear the soul in her voice

[@tknox39]

I still listen to this album today. It's almost a masterpiece. With her lead vocals blended with the fabulous Emotions in the background that made studio magic. Not to mention the Maurice White and EWF musical contribution. If you don't have the "Feel My Soul" lp in your library, I encourage you to get it.

[@deronreed2945]

she sangin her azz off...this track was always a BOP.....murice white

[@MontrealNorth]

Jennifer's voice was automatic brilliance it still is the way she sang at Aretha's funeral❤😪🌹🥂👏

[@loveyu2778]

This is the Voice...before the Voice..🔥🔥

[@Turnip3]

I have this album (Feel My Soul) and was BLOWN AWAY when I discovered this LIVE performance!!! This song is so complicated both vocally and the arrangement, and of course Jennifer KILLS it effortlessly, but I'm also impressed with the band, because those synth horn parts are crazy and they are doing a damn good job! Jennifer Holliday needs to have her own show stat!

[@Doginthecity1]

I completely agree....

[@oholm09]

Its from the studio

[@Turnip3]

@@oholm09 what do you mean? it's not the album version. i don't know what's going on the synth solo because he takes his hands off the keyboard sometimes but the solo is still playing. Maybe they made a special "live" track for her to sing to? Cuz it's not the tracks from the record.

[@oholm09]

@@Turnip3 made it from recording session

[@mauricewilliams2381]

The facility with which she commands her voice is astounding!

[@70s80sVidz]

What a powerhouse !!! Honestly, one of the greatest soul singers of all time. Just extraordinary !

[@Evan-tj1te]

It's really sad that there are only 727 views on this song

[@professormause]

Some people don't know class. Kids are spoon fed auto-tuned slop.

[@zyporter6445]

Her low notes are so rich and soulful, she gonna have to find the fountain of youth cause she bet not die with that voice....

She could charm the birds out of the trees with that voice. It's Magic.

[@melanielucas1093]

Jennifer Holliday is my favorite singer. She belongs with Aretha Franklin for credit. Although I have an Italian friend who sings between her and Mariah Carey. We both have retired. I use to work in it for a.moment.

[@QuentH17]

Saaaaang Ms. Holliday 🗣🙌🏽

[@jonathanknight3342]

I remember this song and I have this album, it's one of the songs I LOVED and still love on the entire album! We saw saw her in concert in KC at the Kaufman Center , though she did not do this song, her concert was great!!! One of my fav female vocalist! Saw her in Dream Girls too!🏆🙏🕊

I used to love this song when they were playing on the radio. I love that whole album because I am a Maurice White and Earth wind and fire nut. This combo was excellent. I know Aretha Franklin was angry as hell. More so at Jennifer Holliday than Natalie cole. Because now they're cold I can understand at all but this woman here had to make Aretha shake.

[@JaySmith-mz7vg]

Not really. They had very different styles of singing. I don't think she ever had any issues with Jennifer actually.
