�Speed Queen�

	There can�t be many things better in this life, if you are 
21 years old and have a hell of a voice, than to be the new girl 
on Quincy Jones�s block.  You�re singing on the same album as 
Barry White.  You know you�re on the money.

	Tamia, a Canadian beauty who has been singing since she was 
ten, met Jones at a party for Luther Vandross; they became 
friends, he asked her to sing, and what do you know: The first 
single he�s released from his first album in six years, Q�s Jook 
Joint, is Tamia�s.  Nothing random about that, not when the 
record features Ray Charles, Queen Latifah, Stevie Wonder, and 
Chaka Khan.  And Tamia delivers �You Put A Move On My Heart� 
with a wonderful sophistication and enviable ease.

	A gift of a voice, a peach of a body, a solo album in the 
making, a sole in Speed 2 (no surprise: It�s during her number 
that the cruise ship loses control)--this self-possessed creature 
is so seductive that it�s hard even to mind all this great good 
fortune.  �I�m very, very flattered,� she says, without a whiff 
of cutesy nor a trace of artfulness.  She is a real-life natural 
woman.  Oh, and the video?  The last few frames: pure sex.
