Happy Birthday to the sublime and bootylicious Ms. Erykah Badu, the slinkiest and smartest soul singer of her generation. (Believe it or not, the Grinder's spellcheker did recognize bootylicious as a word, an oversight than has now been corrected.)
This is the dirtiest love song ever written about reincarnation, "Next Lifetime" off the 1997 album Baduizm.
Here, Ms. Badu joins My Morning Jacket live for their cover of her signature hit "Tyrone." The clip, from the Palladium Ballroom in Dallas, is bootleg but the energy of the show kind of makes up for the bad sound.
