My sister was reading my latest issue of Essence this month and shouted to me from the living room about various artists that were featured in the magazine. I went to an online merchant's site that has samples. Most of the profiled artists didn't strike a cord with me. That was until I clicked on the first snipette of Susheela Raman's voice.
