LOS ANGELES — If you forgot that "Abbott Elementary" star Sheryl Lee Ralph is also a Tony-nominated singer, don't worry. She just reminded you.
During the 74th Emmys on Monday, the acclaimed veteran performer sang the house down upon winning the award for supporting actress in a comedy. But instead of the traditional acceptance speech, the "Moesha" actor channeled a song by jazz vocalist Dianne Reeves.
"I am an endangered species/ But I sing no victim's song / I am a woman, I am an artist/ And I know where my voice belongs," she thundered a cappella, reciting lines from Reeves' "Endangered Species," which appeared on her 1994 album, "Art & Survival."
