Why Was Nick Ashford Smiling?

Well he had just finished hearing the lovely Ms. Karen Page sing at his restaurant and bar SUGAR BAR on 72nd Street between Broadway and West End Avenue. Valerie Simpson was busy talking to a friend when Ms. Page took the stage, but after she heard her voice, she had to turn around and take notice, because a star was truly onstage! I hear Ms. Page will be bringing her cabaret act to the city later this year. I can't wait!
