LATASHA LEE SINGING SAM COOKE

"Bring It On Home"

You got someone here wants to make it alright
Someone who loves you more than life right here
You got willing arms that'll hold you tight
A hand to lead you on through the night right here
I know your heart can get all tangled up inside
But don't you keep it to yourself

[Chorus:]
When your long day is over
And you can barely drag your feet
The weight of the world is on your shoulders
I know what you need
Bring it on home to me

You know I know you like the back of my hand
But did you know I'm gonna do all that I can right here
I'm gonna lie with you till you fall asleep
When the morning comes I'm still gonna be right here (yes I am)
So take your worries and just drop them at the door
Baby leave it all behind

[Chorus]

Baby let me be your safe harbor
Don't let the water come and carry you away

[Chorus]

You got someone here wants to make it alright
Someone who loves you more than life right here

Sweet hometown girl Latasha Lee covers Sam Cooke’s “Bring It On Home To Me” in an authentic way -- more soul, more passion, and more emotion. She adds a little bit of heaven to Cooke’s song and even more.

Lee’s voice alone paints a perfect backdrop of a southern town where you may see her walking around on a busy day in town. Unlike other artists, Latasha’s voice seems to reach out and grab the listener -- almost like he or she could have a conversation with her as she is singing. She would make her idols proud.

Her soulful voice has a sweet depth, which seems to have gone extinct in today’s modern world, but then again, R&B is no longer in the spotlight. And, as sad as I am to tell you this, she doesn’t sing like this all the time.

She sings songs with titles such as “Fo The Love of The Money (Featuring Too $hort)” and “Like Ya Homeboys.” I believe those titles can sum up her usual musical scene. Even though I find myself usually listening to whatever is on the United States’ top 40, nothing beats a modernized cover of an already soulful song, and it is refreshing to see young talent able to remember their roots.
