Okay, so some years back when funk singer Nikka Costa dropped the songs “Everybody’s Got Their Something” and “Like a Feather,” I was pretty sure she was a black woman. Her voice, even to this day, reminds me of the voice of strong black singers like Leela James, and her songs were soooo funky, I just assumed…Well, you know what they say about assuming. Either way, a lot of people are fans of her distinctive voice, even Prince. The purple one and Costa have performed together on multiple occasions.
