When did you leave Heaven - Me'Shell Ndegéocello (singer: Lalah Hathaway) 

The singer of this song Lalah Hathaway is the daughter of the soul-legend of the 70s Donny Hathaway. Check out "Sack full of Dreams" and compare their amazing voices! :D

If you click "Sack full of dreams" you can read that Donny Hathaway is my favorite male singer in soul music (directly followed by Stevie) and Stevie Wonder my favorite male artist. Well, Meshell Ndegéocello (whose voice you can't hear here, but who created this album and played some of the instruments) is my favorite female artist in soul music. Each of her CDs are different to each other and always satisfy highly qualitative standards... I will post more of her soon. :)


lyrics:

When did you leave heaven?
How could they let you go?
How's every thing in heaven?
I'd like to know.

Why did you trade heaven?
For all these earthly things?
Where on earth did you hide your halo?
Where did you lose your wings?

Have they missed you?
Can you get back in?
If I kiss you would it be a sin?
I am only human
but you are so divine.
When did you leave heaven
angel mine?
