22 years ago I had been auditioning background singers all day and at the end of the day ,last minute , Zhana Saunders appeared at the door! Her almond shaped eyes and smile made reminded me of a nubian princess. After hearing her sing for 1 minute , I hired her on the spot to join our WORLD CLIQUE world tour with Bootsy, Bernie Worrell, Mike “Kid Funkadelic” Hampton, Trey Stone, Barbara Tucker , Robin Lobe , and Dmitry ( i’ll have to fill in the drummers name later but he was steady and kicked butt ) so it was wonderful to have a mini - reunion at Bootsy’s show last wed at BBKings with Zhananananana ,especially as Bernie Worrell was the unexpected special guest of honor. I was happy to meet the BV singers in the new lineup and run into P-funk’s Razor Sharp, Frankie “Kash” Waddy ,and witness the talented band he put together. I missed hearing Mudbone,Peanut, and Blackbyrd…but all in all it was tight and that’s alright- Lady Miss Kier
