The best concert I have been too. Leeks James voice is so beautiful and she knows how to get her crowd on their feet dancing. She reminds me of the one and only Mrs. Pattie Labelle. Only thing I hope for is that next time she performs that she will over a meet and greet. Leela James is so talented and an inspiration to me.

I went to this show in Honor of my friend, Kelly A. Lieske, who was Leela James’ biggest fan! She passed 2yrs ago on December 10th so it was the perfect tribute! Leela was awesome but I wish she had a bit more time to sing! 🥰

About Leela James
Leela James is a Los Angeles native and soul singer who cites James Brown, Roberta Flack, and Gladys Knight, among others, as influences. Her deep, rich and gritty vocals easily draw comparisons to Aretha Franklin and Gladys Knight.
Her debut album was released on June 21, 2005, entitled A Change Is Gonna Come. The album is a soul music record incorporating the styles of 1960s and 1970s American soul singers, with a mixture of funk, R&B and gospel influences. The first single from the album, entitled "Music," laments what Leela James sees as the decline of hip hop and soul music and asks for a return to the artistry of musicians of earlier decades. Leela co-wrote most of the tracks on her debut album, with two notable exceptions being her cover of No Doubt's "Don't Speak," and the classic song by Sam Cooke for which the album is named.
