Maybe one of the most beautiful women to ever sing!!

I went to the movie theater to see “Soul Power” and it truly rocked! The movie shows a place and time of change for the black community. The music dramatically reflects that change like no other music can: with funk and class!

I am not going to list all the players because you need to see it. But here is a spoiler alert: I wanna talk about one of the performers, Ms. Celia Cruz.

This woman is a phenom of charisma and skill. She takes “Soul Power” and gently lifts the film up beyond what it would be with all the other performers. A scene in the film shows her beating her shoe on the airplane luggage carrier as she keeps time and sings with her group during the plane ride to Africa. And she is so happy. Does she sleep?

It looks like no one in this movie ever sleeps. And Ms. Cruz keeps her dynamite charisma going and going. Sometimes she looks so awed to be performing and that seems to wear off on her audience.
