WOW!
LOVE this post, LOVE this beautiful woman, LOVE this song…thank you so much!
I LOVE ME SOME RAHSAAN PATTERSON! My dream is to see you live one day.
Hello Lisa. Eye...am...not.. was..,Eye..am. Headed to the Oval Office. look close you will SEE and hear me. Eye told you eye would come back greater. (ike is P.Diddy)
Chaka Chaka Chaka !!! She's the best female singer from the 70's....
I've been a huge fan of Rahsaan for many years - I have all his albums - so many amazing tracks - one of the BEST vocalists out there.
One of the songs that marks my high-school days--'wore out that album! Gracias, Cory!
Lisa, gets it the reason you have Whitney and other great girl singers is because Dionne Warwick broke down doors.
We all knew he was gay and it meant nothing. We loved this kid.
What is the song in the background as Lisa speaks in the beginning ?😍
"You'll Never Get to Heaven (If You Break My Heart)" by Dionne Warwick
THAT BAND IS THE BEST GOT ME LAID ALL THE TIME AT SETS IN THE BASEMENTS IN THE HOODS
I can't imagine talent who didn't or don't get the opportunity due to the reasons she mentioned!
♥️👑
👑🙏
Love this singer, band etc this reminds me growing up in Nyc being multi race, culture etc great music blasting radios wbls etc...Cory Daye she's got a great voice etc and she's sooo beautiful...great name also ...like mine..lol 😊
We lived in Fullerton California On Brookhurst there was a stripp Mall down the street off of Orangethorpe When I first heard them I when straight to a music store called the MusicBox and they only sold Albums back in that day I got there album and would not stop playing it My Mom loved to listen to it and my Older Sisters Iconic album
You were amazing on every level ❤❤❤
I am privileged to have this song by Brenda & Brian Russell. The track is on Brenda's Ultimate Collection from Universal Music Group. - Rufus & Chaka Khan did a marvelous job on this track. Chaka's unique voice is always taking us places 😀
Brenda Russell's debut album was a breath of fresh air. I still have the 8 track album of this. Yes the 8 track! I loved ALL the songs. One of my favorites was "Way Back When". The orchestration alone on that song was killer. Brenda is one of the most fabulous songwriters penning timeless lyrics. I'm sure she made a nice chunk of change off Luther Vandross's rendition of If Only For One Night. Love me some Brenda!
I just came across this interview of Brenda Russell. I'm glad I did. I have been a HUGE FAN since 1979 during the So Good, So Right era. Last time I saw Brenda perform was at the Catalina Jazz Club in Hollywood in the 2000's. Gave a great show. Love me some Brenda Russell. Her last album released was in 2004. I read a story that another album is coming. Please hurry with that. 🙂 Donna Summer...she is in a class by herself. Her voice is definitely "incomparable". I miss her live performances. I'm a HUGE Donna Summer fan. I still play Brenda's and Donna's music catalog at least 6 times a year.
Luuv me some Brenda Russell...Piano in the Dark...Get Here...her work with Tears for Fear...Chef's kiss...top tier song writing...
We love you and your music! Period
We love you Ruth
I love this group, the album and Cory's voice!
I love her!
I love these guys!!!!!!
Fantastic!
Cut the back ground music
I love❤her solo hit “Pow Wow” too.
They were fabulous. I had the great pleasure of seeing them in New York at the Ritz in 1980.
Cherchez La Femme and Sun Shower were really big songs in the 70, and I'll play the fool for you! I remember the times, the friends, neighbors and family and the neighborhood vividly whenever I hear these songs!!!!
.....in my estimation, the genre's absolute PINNACLE sonically.....
l love dr.buzz cherchez i Remember the first time i heard mr. sandman l bought the album a pink album with A lady's arm wearing a white glove i Love that album back in the day in 76❤ today i still lesson to them My favorite is soured & cream ❤ i love All them songs ❤
One of my favorite singers.
One of my favorite artists. I bought her first album.
I can't believe I'm meeting this woman in a few days! Thrilled!!!
The best music by Diana came from Nick and Val.
I want to kiss Ruth. On the lips.
God Bless Ray Parker Jr.
Used to hear this waaay back in the 80’s while roller skating. Today I was skating with my daughter and I requested Automatic. They played it and it was instant time warp. Love that song, love the artists from that era. Artists that could actually sing without auto tune. Artists who could enunciate the English language. Today’s “music” makes me want to throw up. Nothing more than idiots mumbling over a crappy beat track.
I remember Unique Boutique. Those were the days my friend, good times.
She's amazing❣
I bought this album new. West Coast! How I knew of them I will never know! 67 yr old here
Cory Day is still gorgeous 45 years later!
Donna was a REAL QUEEN 👑 THE QUEEN 9F DISCO 💯
God I loved this group and this music! I remember dancing to this and all the other tunes from the album in nightclubs in D.C. in the mid-70's... those glorious days of my youth :) Can't believe all those years have gone by but I still keep this music in play and will forever!
There are a lot of gay or bisexual black singers. Male and female after there dead is exposed.
The Pointer Sisters were great. But, I don't think 'Ruth' is a woman. Have a good look at photos throughout his career. He looks like a man in drag. Anyone else see and hear it, too?

I just heard Rahsaan's music over a year ago. I must say, I think Rashaan is an awesome singer who has become a legend in my book. He can sing like no other and for that, I say thank you and keep singing Rahsaan. Sent from Heaven is my favorite and now I must hear it daily.
