Meshell Ndegeocello

Extra credit for anyone who can pronounce the last name. :-)

En-day-gay-oh-chello

Or, as she was once introduced : Michelle and the Cellos...

Her real last name is Johnson...

Where did the tongue-twister new last name come from?

From Africa... it means (if I remember correctly) free like a bird. She is
the daughter of saxophonist Jaques Johnson, with whom I worked in the early
90s. In the 80s, Meshell was the BADDEST bassist on DC's go-go scene, and
when I heard her demos, I was floored. The woman is a monster!
