girl, you better sang this song.. this takes me back.. watching mama and daddy dancing..lil did i know what the lyrics meant back then, but this was their song..lmbo.. an i love it, i grew up on these type of songs.. Sang it Leela.. I see you girl..
Leela is soooooo soulful and sultry. Love her raspy voice. She is the real deal. Gone and bring it back, Leela! She Ridiculous! Love It! This is that real soul music. Can we get back? One of my favs by the Staple Singers.
Love her I'm going to post on FB GROUP " I Celebrate The Dark-Skinned Black Woman Because She's My......" one of my favorite songs by her....SHE IS GREAT!
I wish that radio would play more of Leela James. I always support her music when it comes out. She has SOUL and it should be put out there for everyone to witness.
Thank you Leela for some REAL music. I"m tired of this bull the music industry is pushing off on us this auto-tune crap.Real artist stand up and make them take notice. Again thank you Leela.
She is my favorite female Soul artist......you can feel the love come thru the speakers in her voice. I need her to make a track with my main man...Anthony Hamilton....I probably couldn't move from pure exctasy . They are the reason I love music....they make music. Just need a glass of wine! If they could sing at my Wedding.....
...this is what's great about women like her and Joss Stone; they appreciate the foundation of the greats B4 them. And, they're getting on with a 'band' ! Why/how did bands end up takin' a backseat to M.C.s !?!
she is so soulful. watch out she is so talented. her voice is amazing. i love her unique style. stay being you leela. she takes me back in the day, when i would be at my aunt"s smokey soul food cafe on a Friday night. the older people with a couple of drinks dancing real funky and enjoying the music.
Leela James has got that fiya.....fa real. Her parents raised her on Aretha Frankin and Chaka Khan.....baby all that good shit. That's why she sings with so much style, passion, fiya and emotion.
Today is the first time I ever heard Leela. SHE IS THE BOMB! I gre up listening to Betty Wright, Millie Jackson, Denise LaSalle, Gladys Knight, Staple Singers. We all know these are Legends. I predict this girl is going to really do this year. LOVE HER. Going to buy all her CDs. Thanks for posting.
Leela girl you did Mavis proud & that's not easy!!! you're a bright shining beacon of hope in Soul music.cuz that BS that's out there now is... Well BS!!!
I like her, she is a great singer. She sounds like some of the old school female singers that I grew up listening to. She should go far in the music industry. Big ups to Leela!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GO ON HEAD SIS WIT YA BAD SELF!!!!! VERY good remake of a CLASSIC!!!! Will have to check this Sista out - and the band is KICKIN' , too!!!! DAYUMMM!!!!!!!!!
Unbelieveable! The sound quality is so close to the original sound, but enhanced of course. Simply beautiful. Awesome! The band is off the chain also. Great Job.

actually, it's by "the staples" -- from the soundtrack to "let's do it again". awesome music in any case, both the original and leela's version.
