1:
Born and raised in North Carolina, Dana Glover moved to Manhattan at the age of 16 to pursue a modeling career. But after two years, she decided that music was her passion and went to Los Angeles to begin writing songs. After playing piano in clubs for a while, she got her break recording film music, most notably the love theme from Shrek, "It is You (I Have Loved)."
After her initial success, she took on the project of releasing her own album, and Testimony was the result. The fruit of Glover's own songwriting, the most recognizable tracks are probably "Thinking Over" (featured in the film Raising Helen) and "Rain." The whole album, however, displays Glover's heavy soul and gospel influence and her passion for the music of the old days. As the final track, "The Way (Radio Song)" sarcastically suggests, it's a really fine feeling what i'm feeling on the radio / 'cause i can hear the words but i just can't feel the soul.

I can't expect the whole world to stop turning just to listen to me
Besides everybody thinks that a women has got something to say
It's the way it's been it's always been the way
It's a really fine feeling when I'm dreaming of a rainy day
Cause I can hear the words I just can't feel the soul
Said the tides aren't turning but nothing ever seems to change
Well I guess it's just the way it's got to be
Whose to say I'm the only one living in reality
But there's a melody I'm singing keeps me feeling like a never belong
I'll just sit right here and think all the way
Is anybody feeling what I'm feeling on the radio
Cause I can hear the words but I cant feel the soul
Said the tides aren't turning but nothing ever seems to change
When I turn the dial the groove still feels the same
Well I guess it's just the way, that things will have to be yea
Well what if I could just live in that wonderland
Stevie touches my heart with his hands
Aretha sings about a do right man all night long just for me
That would be the way that it would be
My my my my my my...
Is anybody feeling what I'm feeling what I'm feeling what I'm feeling on the radio
Is anybody feeling what I'm feeling what I'm feeling what I'm feeling on the radio
James Brown, Al Green, anybody know what I mean
My my woo woo
Shaka Kahn, I feel for you
Is anybody feeling what I'm feeling what I'm feeling what I'm feeling on the radio
Is anybody feeling what I'm feeling what I'm feeling what I'm feeling on the radio
My my my my my my...

Wow! What a voice and a style on this woman! I just decided to click on this movie called 'Two Weeks Notice' because Sandra Bullock was in it. I'm reading the credits, listening to the music as it goes off; and this last song comes up. I'm saying, "Who is THAT?!" So I go looking for more of Dana Glover. Glad I watched that movie.
