Sonji Clay - I can't wait until I see my Baby's Face

[edge78a]

i thought Baby Washington did the original KTF

[57dogsbody]

Baby washington OWNS this song. NObody`s version is quite as good, this doesnt come close.

[MrPercyThrillington]

I'm afraid that Dusty Springfield still owns this song: no one can touch Dusty on this.

@MrPercyThrillington

No that's still Aretha's Song - Forever ;))

[IvoryO]

@scaasifun indeed Scaasi.....Aretha chewed this song up and spit it out.!!!!

[tubebitch12]

Can somebody post "Nobody could love you the way that I do", by Sonji. PLEASE??????? I'm certain that it was she that recorded it, I used to listen to it on WVON radio Chicago. Another great song.

[SuperPeaches58]

@tubebitch12 it's posted now, I just got through listening 2 it...

[mrjoshjones1]

I'm sure she did'nt dedicate the song to Clay (Ali) after they split up!

[mrjoshjones1]

Am I the only one who knows this was Cassius Clay's (Muhammad Ali) first wife

right after he beat Sonny Listonfor the title and the rematch???

[livisoul]

@mrjoshjones1 no your not alone in that, this is another fab version of this choon

[mrjoshjones1]

@livisoul I never knew she was a singer, even after I read Ali's

"autobiography".

I knew she had been in entertainment, very worldly lady, never

caved to Ali's immature demands (she was much older than him

as you probably know).

On a sidenote, I find it funny the "writers" of Ali's auto-bio chose

to avoid mentioning the fact she had been a semi-successful

singer, not worth mentioning, bitterness, the fact she was no longer

practicing Islam, caution not to offend Belinda (or Veronica).

[SuperPeaches58]

@mrjoshjones1 No you are not.... I knew her sister Lentoi Roy and met Sonji a couple of times....

[mrjoshjones1]

@SuperPeaches58 What was she like (Sonji)?

History buried her after split from Clay (Ali),sadly.

Seemed very talented despite what was written about her later.....

Did you read a few years back how she was referred to in a book

about female sensuality?

Sounds like Ms Roi had much more to offer.
