Concert Review
by Tony Washington
Y oung e n te rta in e rs
are in abundance these
days and Monica is one
of the most talented. She
had visited the Rose City
on the “All T h a t” tour.
August 6. H er crisp, clear
sounding voice put the
freeze on the crowd, giv­
ing an indication of how
musically gifted she re­
ally is. Many rose to their
feet and applauded for
m inutes on end after she
sang a variety of her pre­
vious an d c u rre n t re ­
leases.
Y oung listeners got
the ch ance to see the
gifted singer in her early
prime. She closed the per­
form ance with “Angel of
M ine” th at revealed a
m aturation of her talent.
M onica is truly a stage
wonder to behold!
