This version of "Exactly Like You" could not be more different in style from my favorite rendition, performed by Guy Van Duser and Billy Novick. While the more modern, funked-up angle on the track might offend some purists, the real point of interest is the addition of an overlaid spoken-word section. Sweet Baby J'ai makes the case that it's not impossible for the youth of Hip-Hop Nation to also be into the likes of Little Jimmy Scott, Coltrane and Philly Joe Jones. She has a point. She also has an incredible voice. One that might win over the traditionalists and thus render moot my cliché about purists being offended by funked- up angles.
