Last Wednesday night, per a report from Pegasus News (which they, in turn, got from via V's Vibe Spot), Erykah Badu, who was celebrating her birthday, stopped in to say hey at the weekly Jam Session held every Wednesday night at the Prophet Bar. And, after the crowd sang "Happy Birthday" to the freaq, she returned the favor by getting up on stage and singing a ditty for the people lucky enough to be in attendace.

Today, the video of that performance (see above) made its way to Youtube. Check it out. If only to watch in disbelief that this woman bore a child three weeks earlier.
