Not a lot of black folk/spiritual singers anymore.
Still haven't seen her live, but I've heard Jill Scott puts on a show. I had that damn "livin' my life like it's golden" song in my head for weeks after I first heard it.

(Also, for gals who are a D cup and over, JS created a great bra, the Butterfly Bra. I am not quite blessed enough to use one, but I have heard they are great.)

Best power and charisma I've seen recently was Henry Butler. Buy his album. His house was destroyed in Katrina. If he comes to Manhattan, see him.
