She is so freaking talented and humble! I can't do anything but love, respect, and admire her.

[@dhalsim-1]

She ain't that good

>be humble >literally call yourself Queen choose one

@@gyulaigyula5254 I will not! You must be bored! move around....

[@Kindred04]

@@gyulaigyula5254 - You can be humble and still be confident and think very highly of yourself in order to reach your goals. She is humble through her charitable acts and philanthropy and the way she treats people. She gave herself the moniker "Queen Latifah" (her real name is Dana Owens) when she was just a teenager starting out as rapper, which was a male dominated field at that time. I've never heard anybody say that she acts like she's better than anyone else nor that she treats her staff poorly. She always acknowledges her upbringing in Newark, NJ. She has even mentored young girls from her old community. Please educate yourself before posting such ignorance.

QUEEN does an exquisite job with "MERCY MERCY MERCY"....she got it going on!!!....Keep it on!

I really needed this today (bad thoughts) I love that artists like her are around.

[@beedubb7755]

She is an ageless beauty! I first saw her in a fresh Prince episode and ever since then she becomes more beautiful with every passing year.

[@rubbermannequin6595]

What do she and Grace Jones know that the rest of us don't?!? ^_^

[@Zoraidasinger]

Have mercy on me! It seems, that life has played a game on me. I'm lost, in a sea of misery. My love, is turning his back on me. Heartache, why won't you, let me be. Now baby, have some mercy please. Don't make me, beg on bended knees. Oh please. Mercy mercy mercy please...Have mercy on me! Mercy mercy mercy please. How can I face life? Without you? What would I do? If we, were through? Don't you know daddy, I'll wait for you every single night? Hoping you return, to make things right. You don't show, and I'm sitting here all alone. (all alone now) Just afraid you're gonna call me on the fone. Oh baby, have some mercy please. Don't make me, beg on bended knees. Oh please. Mercy mercy mercy (mercy, mercy on me) Have mercy on me! Mercy mercy mercy me. You know I love you. And I'm begging you. Give me one chance. One chance. One more. I know life's got its many a twists. But loving you daddy, is the one that I cannot resist. Your lovin' understandin', you've been givin givin givin givin me. Without you, I just can't go on livin. Oh baby, have some mercy please. Don't make me beg on bended knees. I said. Mercy mercy mercy (oh, mercy on me) Have mercy on me! Mercy mercy mercy please...Have mercy on me! Mercy mercy mercy...Have mercy on me! Mercy mercy mercy...Oooooo Have a little bit of mercy for your mama. I ain't ask for too much, just a little bit from you you you you you....

[@coolbreeze3769]

Is there anything Latifah CAN'T do (with her fine self)? Been down with her since "Wrath of My Madness"

[@ericholmes5962]

Queen Latifah is very inspiring 1 of the best lyricist.the things she do inspires a lot of other artist like playing in movies and making music and reaching out to others.

[@lisareutenauer2625]

Agree but she did not write the lyrics for this songs. I believe Marlena Shaw did.

[@TreeLeg]

the song was composed by Joe Zawinul. Pretty sure he also wrote the lyrics

[@yshuff7603]

​@@lisareutenauer2625Marlena Shaw did not write the lyrics either. It was actress Gail Fisher of the tv show Mannix.

[@oscarandgroucho]

Love the bass player! Adds a whole new layer of funk to the tune. And the lyrics have more depth than the Buckingham's silliness. I hope Zawinul and Cannonball would approve of the feel. Nothing laid back about this monstrous groove. Real nice.

[@robertgiles9124]

Buckingham made a lot more people happy with his music than you ever did Grouchy.

[@BLANCOFromTheBRONX]

Inspire us Queen! I’m crying over here! I love your authenticity your so humble talented Black Woman! God Bless You

Much better cover than The Buckinghams. For one, The Queen can sing! Also, the band funks it all up.

[@brucehauge1391]

+Jeffrey Waldman Much better? Give me a break. You're implying Dennis Tufano couldn't sing? Queen is good but come on nothing tops the Buckingham's version. NOTHING.

[@elainefox2978]

good video

[@edennazir6425]

I see the audience there and looks like most of them don't know the song, and I'm here just thinking,"look at them, not knowing the song🤣".

[@brooksrichardbrown]

David Ruffin in the audience?

[@OmniphonProductions]

This is the first time I've ever heard lyrics with this song, which was originally a straight Jazz instrumental. Who wrote the lyrics to go with it? P.S. Love the pipes, the smile, the curves, and the CHARISMA! (Not to mention the Stevie Wonder blend-in at the end). Lookin' forward to more of this.

[@Lightningspiner]

Marlena Shaw, her version is more laid back, while this is more funky

[@jenns7715]

The Buckinghams released a version with very different lyrics in 1967.

[@lahaina4791]

​​@@jenns7715 Yes, and still the iconic and best version.
