Performer: Various Artists
Distributor: BMG (distributor) Notes: Includes liner notes by Nelson George. Ultimate Divas captures every aspect of pop music's queens, reaching back to Judy Garland's "Over the Rainbow" and Lena Horne's "Stormy Weather," and flashing forward into the present with songs by Annie Lennox and Tina Turner. In between one finds great performances like Billie Holiday's "My Man," Ella Fitzgerald's "Someone to Watch over Me," and Gladys Knight's "Midnight Train to Georgia." Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, and Dionne Warwick are among the other divas represented here, making Ultimate Divas an entertaining retrospective of these larger-than-life songstresses. ~ Heather Phares
