What a sultry, smooth voice Queen Latifah has put on this rendition of the 60 year old Barbara Lewis masterpiece. So if you're still loving it, smash the I❤Queen Latifahbutton below: 👇🏾
Once Yvonne Elliman did her take of the song, she owned it in my opinion. Her tone, the chords, and the arrangement most especially... simply sublime like no other.
This version by Dana Owens is superior for all the reasons that you listed about the Yvonne Elliman version. Nothing tops the emotional grittiness of the original though, in my humble opinion. You felt Barbara when she sung that opening "Hello stranger".
@@BulletProofSoul11Who you telling? I was in JHS(i'm now in my seventies). The story then was, while touring when she arrived at a city she had been to in a while, audience members who yell out "Hello Stranger", indicating that they've missed seeing her. Inspired by that, she then wrote the song. I merely mentioned the one you carelessly OMITTED, perhaps due to your lack of knowledge. And like i said, that's MY favorite!😉
Queen good job nobody can touch Barbra with this song but U put your spin on it that didn't take the greatness of the song away and you certainly looked like caramel candy on the cover.
She sure has! My mother played the original, a lot! I’m so happy we had R&B & Motown music in our home. Just goes to show, no matter what country you’re from. Music sings to your soul. 🎶❤️
I actually love all of the versions of this beautiful classic. Barbara Lewis, Carrie Lucas with the Whispers singing background and This one by the Queen herself. They're all absolutely beautiful.😊
Queen Latifah need to re release this wow I was listening to this song and came across your version ok this was all I can say is wow please put this out we need this song now in our lives
No one has made this their own like THE QUEEN what a rendition, she reminded me of the GREATEST Nancy Wilson a soft gentle sound you can play over and over, wow, thank you so much!❤❤❤❤
I hate rap, it is not really music it is talking to a beat, so I never liked her music, but she is a fine actress, and when she actually sings, damn does she have a wonderful voice. Barbara Lewis' original version has been one of my favorite songs for decades since first came out in the 60's. I first heard this version on my birthday over the speakers in a restaurant where my friends took me to celebrate. I had not heard this song for decades, when I heard this version damn how wonderful, she made my birthday. Both versions are great but I believe the Queen's version is even better. God bless Ms. Lewis, and Queen Latifa.
Thank God the artists are slowly getting back to good music. Lein bridge is great don't keep changin and more artists make songs like this. Make Motown sounding songs. Make Doo wop. You can't go wrong. At worst you have the 40 and older demographic and likely half the younger. Or you can change the history of music. By finally getting RnB back on track and rock also. Although rock is still thriving not on radio but there's a ton of great albums on stoned meadow of doom RUclips channel, and theres tons of great old sounding and new sounding stuff.
Beautiful voice and singer ❤. Song reminds me of my wife Judy 😂. I miss her so much ❤❤😂. I love you Yobo always and forever. I just miss you so much Judy ❤❤😂. ♥️♥️😘😢🏃😍

I didnt know Queen Latifah could sing but I happen to see her album in a store and every since, I love to her sing.

Totally agree
Exactly

Search for the Carrie Lucas version
Great rendition ❤❤❤
She did this song justice..
I like this Version, nice Work Queen Latifah.
Hey Yeah!! 🎉 I Love Queen Latifa!! She's Awesome 👍👍❤ Barby Lynn

Mood changerz they r ndeed
Wow incredible voice Queen Latifa great job such a good song

HERMOSA VOZ, Y CANCIONES...TE MANDO MUCHO CARIÑO QUEEN LATIFAH!!
I love the original one but Queen Latifa adds her spice and I love it so - I play both versions and sometimes for days- Queen Latifa what an honor ~
BOTH?! How about Carrie Lucas' version? No slouch there.
I agree, I play Queen’s version often. I just love her voice 😊😊😊

The original is Barbara Lewis back in 1963

Very good version,this Lady can sing 😊.
Beautiful Woman and Music. This settles the soul. Thank You , my Queen!
I don't think I've heard a bad version of this song. Queen definitely put her bit of spice on it.
Barbara Lewis wrote Hello Stranger. But her breakout hit was Baby I'm Yours COMPOSED BY VAN MCCOY 3:02
Yes. Very familiar with her work.@@jaycarr1630
The 2010s is mostly nonsense, but you'd be shocked to hear Samantha Fish from that decade cover this song.
@chibuzonwachuku5624 about to check it out right now. Thanks
@@sallysson How was it?
I’ve heard all versions of this song, which is one of my favorites. I really enjoy this one sung by Queen Latifah the best! She does an amazing job 🐼
The Queen has definitely put her MAGIC on this track 🔥🔥🔥
@@josepherandolph Thanks for your comment. I appreciate the people who enjoy real music.

The best version of this awesome song by Barbara Lewis and very faithfull to the original (those keyboards MUST be).

She did, back in 2004- The Dana Owens Album- it's her real name
Just Fantastic!! My Childhood.
The woman can sing 😊
Queen Yasssss❤s
She sounds amazing
Why isn’t this on ITunes?
They removed it . I saved it on my playlist now it’s gone
In Spotify neither. What a shame.
@@opan697 That's why I prefer to buy the music.
Her voice is like molasses, beautiful rendition.
"oooh,oooh slow dancing oh'" my' oh my"
I guess as long as one sticks to the traditio al musical arrangement, there are no bad versions of this song...
Very fine rendition! It’s extremely difficult to improve on the original.
Nice version
Best song ever
💖💖💖💖
She enhances the song,rather than extracting.
