Take Donna Rice Hughes, the former gal pal of Gary Hart, who has reconstituted herself as an antipornography activist with the group Enough Is Enough.

On her live album she not only evokes Billie Holiday, Chaka Kahn, Roy Ayres and Miles Davis, but she also demonstrates an amazing originality and octave range. Live is a jazzy portrait of a charming Southern gal as funk goddess. Posing on the cover as a very pregnant butterfly (Badu was expecting during the recording of the album), she comes into her own, leaving the impression that she is beautifully, sassily, definitively Erykah...
