I had a day to wander around Kalamazoo. Stopped into a bar. The bartender turned me on to Dana Owens singing, in an ella fitzgerald bluesy style, California Dreaming.
Owens is better known as Queen Latifah. Amazon had sound bites. The album, The Dana Owens Album, also has "lush life" which is a song, but also is a movie about the guy who wrote the song, who was black and gay and out and a lush, a drunk, and played with Duke Ellington.
