Who`s That Lady? *Pru*

Everybody always ask me, Who`s That Lady? The young lady`s name is Pru,I met Ms. Pru back in 1994, she came to Los Angeles to follow her dream on becoming be a singer. I never heard Pru perform live until she sung "Baby it`s You" at Donald and Sandra wedding & she blew everybody away, after the wedding everybody was talking about Pru, and her performance. I got a call about a month later that "Capitol Records" signed Pru to a record deal. Her manager Roy Lott really believed in her vision, on the type of album & style she wanted to project. The focus was place on Pru`s writing & vocal style, the fact that she`s beautiful was not the main focus. Pru wanted to be known for her talent as a vocalist, not just another pretty face & she proves it with her album, which is a classic totally original. Pru took her act on tour, and I saw her perform at "Luna Park" in California & "E2 "in Chicago, and she performs like a true pro, that`s been in the music business for years; and the Band was off the hook. The reason I really like Pru, is the fact that she didn`t let the fame go to her head, when she`s not performing she`s just a normal young lady. I remember her going into a record store, and asking for her album, the young man didn`t even know it was her until she told him. I sent her album to Michael Baisden, radio talk show host to be on The B Side, and he loved it & call me & Pru personally to be on his radio show. Pru & her New Band performed at Michael`s Live Party in L.A. July 16, 2006 she continues to move forward, and she`s not looking back.

The debut album from Houston's Pru is an overlooked classic from neo-soul's turn-of-the-millennium heyday. Her voluptuous and velvety voice is hypnotizing on "Candles," and on a loose reinterpretation of Smokey Robinson's "Tracks of My Tears." From the gospeldelic "Hazy Shades" to the sangria soul of "Smooth Operator," the album covers a lot of ground. Sam Chennault
