Thread Name: Single Name Basis
Subject: RE: Single Name Basis
With regard to question #19, I may have mistaken this term of endearment for an actual single name, though it has sometimes been given as a personal female name in the USA {I've seen given to African Americans more than any other racial/ethnic group}. But it is also the name of a an Indian supermodel and a Bollywood actress.
And since, I may have goofed by including this term of endearment as a single name, I'm gonna post that answer-right-now:
19. What is the single name of the very popular Swahili love song whose title translates as "My angel" and whose lyrics in English begins "My angel, my angel, I love you, my angel". Hint: This song's name is also the name of an Indian supermodel and a Bollywood actress.-"Malaika"
"Malaika, which means "angel" in Swahili, was a song first recorded by Kenyan musician Fadhili William and his band Jambo Boys in 1960. Authorship of the song is often attributed to Fadhili William, but that is somewhat disputed.
