Patrice Rushen is another artist that is underrated…this lady does it all. She is a composer, record producer, plays multiple instruments and a song writer. This lady is a force to be reckoned with!😎🔥👍🏾
I agree, she created the blueprint sound for a lot of the 90's female groups like SWV and others. Her jazz fusion side is there with Herbie Hancock and Bob James. She is Fire.
Alicia Keys wish she was as great as Patrice Rushen! She good but she not on the same level as Patrice. To me Patrice Rushen is the Female version of Prince, as far as being able to play every instrument imaginable. Plus her voice is one of the sweetest voices god has ever made.
@@shamoriwall Thank you! Thank you! Patrice was a producer as well.She did music for the Jay Leno show, scores for movies she wasnt just a singer that played an instrument.She played the hell out of that keyboard and every other instrument she played. Alicia Keys could never! Lol Im glad somebody said something cause I was getting ready to go in on that comment🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for finally saying the line that I wanted to hear someone from your generation say."Thats why yall say that aint no music"! Someone finally gets it.lol Yes,Its really an honest place that us old heads be coming from.We arent just tearing this generations music down.We really just grew up with much better music.
Alicia is an artist, but in a month of Sundays, should never be mentioned in the same breath as the living legend Patrice Rushen. Someone who can flow seamlessly through different genres, an inspiration to Prince. The list goes on.. respectfully of course.
Young man.....this song came out when i was 12 years old. i am 51 now and i play it on a daily basis. my generation of music had heart and integrity and when you hear older folks say today music is just noise, believe that. Please listen to another jam by Patrice Rushen called "Feel So Real(Mind Won't Let Go). Blessings!!!!
This song is 40 years old to the date. Miss Patrice Rushen is a prolific songwriter, composer, singer, conductor and she plays 24 instruments on her albums to her own credit. She also conducts symphony orchestras to this day since being out of the music industry as a recording artist. She also has a TV One "Unsung" episode that might be here on UA-cam.com
Yes indeed, back in the 70’s and 80’s, we were spoiled by the top notch level of talent that artists had to have to be successful , real singers, matched with real songwriters matched with real musicians , you just didn’t get a record contract if you had no talent at a high level. So we were full of hit after hit after hit of great music and artistry . Patrice was successful because she had a level of talent higher than most , she was a songwrighter, singer, but also a master musician that could play many instruments , and was a master in jazz and well as R&B. The last 20 or 30 odd years she has devoted most of her talent to jazz, which was her first love, as she had played with the best jazz greats already as a young teenager. Before Alicia Keys and H.E.R., who are both known for their musicianship as well as their singing, there was Patrice Rushen.
Now when you talk about underrated musicians Patrice Rushen would be atop of that list. She plays an assortment of different musical instruments. She has been the musical director of the Grammys and Oscar's. She is deftly talented. Prince marveled at her talent.
Patrice helped Prince get his record deal & he had a crush on her. He wrote I Feel For You about her & later allowed Chaka Khan to record it. Patrice was best friends with bassist Larry Graham's 1st wife, but fell for him. The affair broke that friendship & marriage. Thankfully now she's been married to someone else over 30 years. She's been the musical director for a lot of award shows too. She's a fantastic musician. People are always amazed at how tiny she is.
@@NikkiKNuvo Don't just believe everything you see or hear. To my knowledge, Larry Graham's wife Tina (whom he is still married to, is his only wife). The other information, I don't know.
Oh!, I see you taking this to another level, yes Ms. Patrice teach these youngins something about REAL music. If there was a female "Prince" this is one right here.
This is the Music I grew up on young Man...... All the best R&B seemed to be between 1970-1980........... We"re STILL JAMMIN' Baby......!!! Peace... One Love
Yes, a master pianist indeed. However, she comes out of the world of Jazz & Jazz Fusion. When she started to make more commercial tunes they fell under the umbrella of Jazz-Funk, hence the jazzy funky groove of her output from 1978 - 1982.
Patrice Rushen is a whole VIBE!!!!!!! She's a musician, producer, composer, etc., and one of the most underrated musicians EVER!!!!! Memories.....I know I keep saying that, but it's all I can say!! This song is such a classic!!!
Young Purple Prince was in love with this girl! But she didn't give him that opening. She play different instruments too. I've been looking for you! The jam!
Aye Bro She's A Legend In Her Own Right Singer/Songwriter/Multi-Instrumentalist & Producer she got Bangers Haven't You Heard,The Ultra Classics Forget Me Nots & Feel So Real that Solo you heard playing was her She's a beast 💯💯💯❤
Can you really imagine growing up and this is what they played on the RADIO? EVERYDAY...... I'm 62, grew up in the burbs of Detroit. I had the best of both worlds....funk, soul, disco & Rock n' roll. I am deeply blessed to have grown up in a era of music that is without a doubt, the best in the world!
Love Patrice rushen remind, I first heard this song in 1988 and bought a white cassette tape of the song 1997 and been listening to this every day since. One of the most sampled beats. #beltway95sports
Quite a masterful artist, she. Sings and plays all those keys, Rhodes electric piano (the solo), the funky MiniMoog synth bass, a wah-wah clavinet (like Stevie Wonder's "Superstition"). "Forget Me Nots" is another one of her jams. Old school, this. 70s & 80s. "Dazz," by Brick was around that time, too.
I adore her music!! She is so incredibly talented . I have me you kids listen to her. I’m so glad I grew up in the 70/80 to be able to be expose to such great music !!
I saw her in concert. She is around 4'9 and so pretty. She was just as good in concert. This was in the early 80's. I remember her album. It was GREAT!
Nice reaction! This song has been sampled a lot in hip hop. Patrice is a very talented artist- writer, producer, director, musician, singer, arranger, composer and she teaches music at USC. Prince's hit song- I Wanna Be Your Lover, is about Patrice. Some more very good songs from Patrice are: Feels So Real (Won't Let Go), Settle For My Love, When I Found You, Forget Me Nots, Never Gonna Give You Up (Won't Let You Be), Number One, Haven't You Heard & Where There Is Love...just to name a few.
This sister is the truth! She played most of the instruments in this cut and is a master producer and composer. She is also a favorite of Kirk Franklin to sample like "Haven't You Heard?"
Patrice rushen is accomplished composer musician arranger producer songwriter yes this was very popular R&B hits but before that was she was doing jazz music and she still does. Patrice was also Janet Jackson music tours director. The tickling of the organ keys is Patrice playing she never gets her credit as she deserves this song is 1981. Back then it was more than just producing beats like today you had live musicians you had jam sessions
Haven't heard this in a long, long time. She is a great talent, and like so many you just don't hear them anymore. Try playing Forget Me Nots, you'll really like that too!
She was a jazz artist at first. You must try to watch her play live. Amazing!! Many people have sampled her music including Will Smith and Kirk Franklin. Try “Forget Me Nots”.
This. Is. My. Song! U hear me?! Lol it's soooo good. SN: the way I can visibly see how you feel the music is why I subscribed. Peace & blessings to you 💛🌻✨
I just listened to one of my favorite artist from the past and saw you reviewing Remind me..I commend you young man, you know music!!! You looked the same way I look and feel when hearing this song. ✌️ Peace. By the way made in 1982
I started listening to her in 1981, I was 18 years old. Fell in love with that beautiful smile of hers, and her outstanding musicianship! She's a awesome bass player and I believe she plays other instruments. She wrote a lot of her songs. Could you react to her most played song that Will Smith redone for the movie he was in Men In Black called Forget Me Nots! It's lit!🎺🎸🙎✌
thank you so much for saying what you did, about how music was back then. it really was more organic, earnest, loving. it’s so good to hear this from you!❤️
Yea it’s definitely a feel good joint. I heard it two yrs ago by accident though and thank God I did! Alexa used it to wake me up with 80’s slow jams. I was late that morning because that song I had to hear several times 😂
Imma give you a 20yr window, 67’-87’…the best shit you’ve ever heard, was birthed within those years, imo. I feel like “Mary Jane Girls - All Night Long”, vibe wise, would be a great follow up to this
That tasty keyboard solo (and song intro) are her. She put out a couple of jazz albums before the r&b/pop albums like this came from. This whole album is good.
I was 18 when this song hit...and like seriously in love w/my first love. Everytime I hear it, it takes me back to 1982 and all those beautiful memories
She bad and played all her instruments. Love Patrice.
Patrice Rushen is another artist that is underrated…this lady does it all. She is a composer, record producer, plays multiple instruments and a song writer. This lady is a force to be reckoned with!😎🔥👍🏾
And she teaches music as a professor at USC.
"Baby Fingers" was most definitely underrated. I even have some of her jazz albums.
YESSSSS ! I was just about to comment the same thing 😁👍. I believe that is her on that keyboard playing. She is so underrated.

This song was heavily sampled by a lot of artists over the last few decades since it’s release
My favorite remains Junior Mafia featuring Aaliyah "Need You Tonight"
Mary J remade this on her first album

@@dawb86 Yessir!
@@keoke32 she covered it. Not made it
They don’t call it Soul Music for nothing ;) Brings tears to the eyes when it’s that good🙏🏼
Patrice was a jazz piano savant and recorded some jazz albums. By the age of 12.
Patrice was a prodigy, she played EVERY instrument on this cut and sung all of the background Vocals.
i'm with you all the way, I swear. but that's James Gadson on the drums.
background vocals were also provided by Roy Galloway and Lynn Davis. James Gadson also played the drums on this track.
@@TT-zi7hi That's correct, James Gadson is on the drum and James Galloway and Lynn Davis assisted with/background vocals.
Patrice helped Prince get his record deal & he had a crush on her. He wrote I Feel For You about her & later allowed Chaka Khan to record it. Patrice was best friends with bassist Larry Graham's 1st wife, but fell for him. The affair broke that friendship & marriage. Thankfully now she's been married to someone else over 30 years.

Larry Graham... brother of Dennis Graham, Drake's dad.... Patrice Rushen had an affair with Drake's uncle lol. It's wild how the generations blind.
@@NikkiKNuvo Don't just believe everything you see or hear. To my knowledge, Larry Graham's wife Tina (whom he is still married to, is his only wife). The other information, I don't know.
Yes my dear. We were a total package back in the day.
Patrice was on another level. Her voice Amazing
Oh!, I see you taking this to another level, yes Ms. Patrice teach these youngins something about REAL music. If there was a female "Prince" this is one right here.

Yeah, she doing her own keyboards on this one !
What a talented singer. This is my Mom’s music I always loved Patrice Rushen.

Patrice Rushen is a master pianist, her voice is beautiful. Listen to Haven't you heard by her, Sampled by Kirk Franklin
