Any of you Grapevine boneheads know her?  I just found out she was the daughter of Ravi Shankar.  Nice voice...

She's hot and can sing like a lark.

Norah's hot, but Ravi's other daughter Anoushka Shankar a hottie as well.   She plays the first Set of "A Concert For George".

First: I would destroy her like she was Yavin IV and I was the Deathstar......

Second: She is the hottest vocalist AND songwriter on the planet (in a close competition with Jewel).

Third: If you don't own or have access to any of her recordings you are a damned fool, like the Damned dirty apes in Planet of the Apes. Clueless to the existence of something this remarkable.

Fourth: A song that can make you melt in the sheer beauty of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu_EJAM8N98 (Excuse crappy uploaded mix... GET THE ALBUM)

OK I'll leave drunk with this, time to go drown my sorrows with the tears mortal men will never achieve the admiration of someone that caliber.

She is the closest I think anyone alive today will come to a virtuoso in the genera of pop/jazz. I'd say she belongs in the realm of almost any jazz great, and almost any pop composer.

That's a first; never thought I'd see a sexual reference with Star Wars as the backdrop.

Too funny!  :rofl
