Floetry in Motion at Lady of Soul
Soul Train said "Yes" to Floetry.
The duo behind the hit single "Say Yes" scored the most honors at the 2003 Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards. The British-born, Philly-based neo-soul group nabbed trophies for Best Single for the song, Best Album for a group for Floetic and Best New Group.
After winning their awards, Floetry's Natalie Stewart and Marsha Ambrosius told Launch Radio Network they were thrilled with their win.
"[We] feel great," said Stewart. "We wanted to win," added Ambrosius.
Joining the newbie twosome for soulful glory was fellow newcomer Heather Headley and seasoned rapper Missy Elliott.
Headly, an up-and-coming R&B sensation previously best known for her work in Broadway's The Lion King and Aida, took Best New Solo Artist for her hit "He Is," as well as a Best Solo Album nod for her debut album This Is Who I Am. Elliott added some hip-hop flava to the mix, scoring props for Best Song and Best Video for her catchy hit "Work It."
Elliott didn't make it to the show due to work duties, but Headley was their to collect her hardware and serving as one of the show's cohosts, along along with former E! Talk Soup host Aisha Tyler, funny guy Arsenio Hall and hunky actor-singer Tyrese.
And Headley seemed a bit surprised by her victory. "I don't call it work," she said upon accepting an award. "I get up in the morning, I shower, and I sing. It's how I talk to God--I communicate with him in music. So for somebody to give an award to me for doing that, I'm like, okay, you know. But I'm very very honored."
The top trophy, the Aretha Franklin Award for Entertainer of the Year, was handed out to Erykah Badu. The songbird also took home the award for Best Solo Single for "Love of my Life."
Badu's selection this year was decidedly less controversial than the 2002 props. Last year, fans worked themselves into a tizzy over the choice of 22-year-old Ashanti as the Entertainer of the Year (many thought she was too young and unproven) on the strength of just one album.
With the award, Badu joins an elite roster of past winners that includes Mariah Carey, TLC and Toni Braxton.
Other top ladies of soul included Dorinda Clark-Cole for Best Gospel Album and actress Vivica A. Fox, who was tapped as the 2003 Lena Horne Award winner for career achievement.
The ninth annual Lady of Soul Awards, created specifically to honor the accomplishments of female recording artists, was held Saturday at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium.
Winners were selected by a panel of radio programmers, active recording artists and key retail personnel, according to Soul Train officials.
