QUEEN LATIFAH | Hello Stranger

[@mangojulie123]

What a sultry, smooth voice Queen Latifah has put on this rendition of the 60 year old Barbara Lewis masterpiece. So if you're still loving it, smash the I❤Queen Latifahbutton below: 👇🏾

[@lillianwilliams5510]

I didnt know Queen Latifah could sing but I happen to see her album in a store and every since, I love to her sing.

[@rhs3607]

Once Yvonne Elliman did her take of the song, she owned it in my opinion. Her tone, the chords, and the arrangement most especially... simply sublime like no other.

[@zeshanarshad3268]

Totally agree

[@GREGWATSON-lc8cc]

Exactly

[@kevinlewis1485]

This version by Dana Owens is superior for all the reasons that you listed about the Yvonne Elliman version. Nothing tops the emotional grittiness of the original though, in my humble opinion. You felt Barbara when she sung that opening "Hello stranger".

[@johnf536]

Search for the Carrie Lucas version

[@nancygarcia1323]

Great rendition ❤❤❤

I like this Version, nice Work Queen Latifah.

I can’t believe she did this song. Beautiful ❤ I wish more people would sing more of these “mood evoking pretty” songs. They touch my heart….

Queen good job nobody can touch Barbra with this song but U put your spin on it that didn't take the greatness of the song away and you certainly looked like caramel candy on the cover.

I’ve heard all versions of this song, which is one of my favorites. I really enjoy this one sung by Queen Latifah the best! She does an amazing job 🐼

[@BulletProofSoul11]

I love the original one but Queen Latifa adds her spice and I love it so - I play both versions and sometimes for days- Queen Latifa what an honor ~

[@johnstanley5586]

BOTH?! How about Carrie Lucas' version? No slouch there.

[@CarolynAvery-k1r]

I agree, I play Queen’s version often. I just love her voice 😊😊😊

[@BulletProofSoul11]

@@johnstanley5586 The original is Barbara Lewis back in 1963

[@johnstanley5586]

@@BulletProofSoul11Who you telling? I was in JHS(i'm now in my seventies). The story then was, while touring when she arrived at a city she had been to in a while, audience members who yell out "Hello Stranger", indicating that they've missed seeing her. Inspired by that, she then wrote the song. I merely mentioned the one you carelessly OMITTED, perhaps due to your lack of knowledge. And like i said, that's MY favorite!😉

[@gedmack7012]

Very good version,this Lady can sing 😊.

Yes. Very familiar with her work.@@jaycarr1630

[@jacobfranz1204]

I hate rap, it is not really music it is talking to a beat, so I never liked her music, but she is a fine actress, and when she actually sings, damn does she have a wonderful voice. Barbara Lewis' original version has been one of my favorite songs for decades since first came out in the 60's. I first heard this version on my birthday over the speakers in a restaurant where my friends took me to celebrate. I had not heard this song for decades, when I heard this version damn how wonderful, she made my birthday. Both versions are great but I believe the Queen's version is even better. God bless Ms. Lewis, and Queen Latifa.

[@deelawson8260]

Lovely cover, nice and smooth 😊

[@Nolan33177]

Thank God the artists are slowly getting back to good music. Lein bridge is great don't keep changin and more artists make songs like this. Make Motown sounding songs. Make Doo wop. You can't go wrong. At worst you have the 40 and older demographic and likely half the younger. Or you can change the history of music. By finally getting RnB back on track and rock also. Although rock is still thriving not on radio but there's a ton of great albums on stoned meadow of doom KZbin channel, and theres tons of great old sounding and new sounding stuff.
