What Happened To '80s/'90s R&B Singer Karyn White?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- As one of the most beautiful and talented American female artists of the late 80s and early 90s, Karyn White achieved multiple number one hits across the R&B, pop and dance charts, and well as gold and platinum album success. At one point, she seemed unstoppable. But, she did, in fact, stop everything and disappeared off the face of the earth. When she did resurface, many years later, she’d have a harrowing tale to tell involving heartbreak, depression and uncertainty over her future in the music industry.

Heck yeah, Karyn White deserves all of her flowers.
She sang the heck out of superwoman
I was LITERALLY waiting for a Karyn White story. The Way That You Love Me, Romantic, Secret Rendezvous have went quadruple diamond in my house. Her and Jody Watley should’ve been as big as Janet in the 90’s as well.
OK! Because I still have those in rotation to this day 😂
@@foxharris-crane9755 Me too.
FACTS! I love and support all 3!!!! ❤
She is still beautiful❤
I see Karyn White... I instantly Click! ❤❤
Karyn needs an episode on Unsung
Right!! I can’t believe they haven’t done her
Karyn White deserves more credit and she deserves her roses while she can smell them
I love me some Karyn White
She's part of that rare pocket of artists that have worked with BOTH LaFace AND Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis (her, Johnny Gill to name a few) and made smashes together. Her Ritual of Love album is fantastic. Great video!
I love Karyn White. STILL a BEAUTIFUL and TALENTED singer to this day! Her music is STILL on my playlist! Superwoman, Romantic, The Way I Feel About You, etc. etc. etc. Ritual of Love is HIGHLY recommended! Happy belated birthday Karyn! 🥳🎈❤
Karyn still looks beautiful. Superwoman still is my jam i used to sing it in my hairbrush as a little girl dont fully understand the song but knew the voice was amazing
I clicked so fast cuz Karyn was THAT Girl
OMG! I have loved Karyn since I was 6 years old. She headlined at the Black Expo this summer, and I had the chance to meet her and give her a custom painting. I literally cried 😂. She was so incredibly sweet, humble, gracious, and just a Queen. She started following me on Instagram and posted our emotional encounter on her page. She is AMAZING and GORGEOUS!! Love her so much! Dream come true 😊
Wow, that is awesome!!!
Omg...i loved karyn white. I played the hell out of secret rendezvous and the way you love me. Now i cant get them out of head
I had a mad crush on Karyn White...who am I kidding, I STILL have a mad crush on Karyn White.
Romantic is in my Top 10 favorite songs of all time
Such a feel good song! ❤
Great story on Karyn White
I have been blasting Secret Rendezvous all week omg
🎶 oh oooh oh, oh oh oooh oh...hey heh hey, oh uh oh oh oh oh 🎶 😂😂😂
That whole song is etched inside my soul since I was 8.
Karyn should have been invited to sing Superwoman. I remember when that happened and watching her response video.
Business is business though. I'm sure Karyn knows that. I'm proud of how she just keeps rolling and is getting the resurgence, and overdue acknowledgment, she rightfully deserves.
Ahh, I used to obsess over that inner sleeve of her debut album💚💚!! Such a beautiful and talented woman she is.
Right on time! I heard a “The Way I Feel About You” at work last week and wondered what happened to her career.
It’s also wild how Don Cornelius supported her career, yet no one reached out to her for Babyface’s Soul Train Awards tribute.
Nice video. Mrs. Karyn White definitely deserves her flowers, I grew up listening her on the radio.
Karyn White Should of Got More Recognition Than What She’s Getting… She is The Epitome of What a Total Package Is. Karyn Marrying Terry Lewis I Think Was A Bad Idea. It’s Like Taking a Crap Where You Eat At. Mixing Business And Pleasure is Never Good.
Totally agree with you.
Fun fact: on the song Feel so much better on Johnny Gill’s album titled by the same name features background vocals from Karyn White.
I love Johnny Gill's self-titled release! CLASSIC! ❤
Indeed. She is clearly heard with those sweet vocals in the bridge singing 🎶 mel-o-deeeeee 🎶
I thought I was gatekeeping this song😅😂
Gawd she reminds me of my childhood! My mother would always play her first album while cleaning up on Saturday mornings. 💐💐💐🦭
I really thought Karen's career would've been much, much more than what it was. She had a unique talent like no other.
Every November 2nd, I play Romantic. 😊 33 anniversary coming up hitting #1.
Im glad I was able to see Karyn white live in concert in Birmingham Alabama ..she was awesome
Karyn White is so pretty!!!
Baby that 3rd album was my FAVORITE!! I wore my tape out! 😂😂😂
Okaaay!!! Highly slept on because of the new wave of younger talent coming through.
Hungah was but a taste of how fire that album was.
Her debut album is flawless. Just hit after hit 🔥🔥. Shoutout to Babyface 🖤🖤.
Luv, Karyn White.
Karen❤ Romantic is my jam.
Her 'Make Him Do Right' album is a non-skip...my favorite album from her❤
Superwoman and Love Saw It are my absolute favorites
She is criminally underrated. You we please get a story on Peebles & Jody Whatley?
I still enjoy her junior album Make Him Do Right. It’s my favorite.
This is crazy. I was just playing her music earlier. Haven’t listened to her in a minute
The song Hungah was heard on New York Undercover season 1 episode 11 the Eyewitness Blues with Salli Richardson Whitfield
I was waiting on the this one
Ms Karen is still beautiful TODAY. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Karen White still looks amazing!!! You can tell she has God strongly in her life💙
Make Him Do Right may have been a slump but here in my country, I'd Rather Be Alone was an anthem for us. This album was my favourite
And also Gladys Knight covered Superwoman with Dionne Warwick and Patti Labelle
She had the best 1980s hair! Favorite song of her is " Fact's of Love". Her and N' Dea Davenport are some of favorite singers.
L❤VE L❤VE L❤VE HER‼️
And Karyn White shares the same birthday as Usher, actor Jon Seda and wrestler Stacy Keibler (October 14th)
And me lol 💋
.... *GOSSIP TIME!* ..I was in the Music Industry (1994), and met a Photog's Assistant for Karyn's "Make Him Do Right" Album cover... He told me that Karyn's label thought the Photos made her look "...too black..." and wanted them lighter, to the point of her looking YELLOW! ...they weren't going promote that Album, lemmetellya...(7:05) .....
I don't doubt it...smh industry politics.
Yep at the time, I wondered why she looked super lighter than her normal complexion on the picture where she has her hand on her chest while smiling. What a memory.
@@TheRetroWoman80 ...and ALSO, didn't you notice the ALL YELLOW background on that Pic (& the "Hungah" single pics), too!?? ....those POLITICS......😒
The way you❤ I still bump it
My mom competed with her in a beauty pageant back in the 70s, when they were both teenagers. My mom got third, Karyn got first. My mom says she was a stuck-up cow back then lol. I'm sure she probably has mellowed out over the years though. I like her music though, particularly Secret Rendezvous and Superwoman
No, she hasn't.
@@SoRealBeauty 😂
Lol. Ok
Hey could you please do video on michel'le and Kool Moe Dee?
She is still beautiful!

She should have stayed in the music business. I really like her music.❤❤
WHERE IS THE INTERVIEWER HERE. Watched him on BET all the time . Loved him.
Not sure what Donnie Simpson is up to these days. I thought I saw him in some video (with many others) paying tribute to someone within the last year or two.
When I was a youngin, I always Karen White and Stephanie Mills were sisters. Both ladies are gorgeous and should’ve much bigger than how they was presented.
Can we have a video about Donnie Simpson? Please 🙏
I'm not your superwoman❤ I'd rather be alone❤ One of the best singers ever.
i hate hearing how men get women at the peak of their career and then leave them to pick up the pieces.
WHEN THE MARRIAGE ENDED, SO DID THE HITS. I'M GLAD SHE FOUND THE LORD! 🌺🌻🌹🌷🌸💐💐💐💐
Such a talented singer, totally disappeared at her peak, Terry Lewis messed her up lmaoo
Secret Rendezvous is the SONG, to this day!!
And the keyboardist was in the group Loose Ends
Dinner Warwick patti labele and glays knight did a killer cover of superwoman 🦸🏾♀️
Donnie Simpson a legend I loved Bet video soul the original 106&park
I ALWAYZ Hated "Superwoman"
But I luv "Looking For A New Love"
It was so Pebbles-ish 2 Me When I was Young.
4:12 Heyyy
I don't understand how Babyface could write a song like Superwoman. Seems like a woman wrote it from start to end lol.
I heard a rumor that her divorce from Terry Lewis was over Janet Jackson
Wow.
They look like maybe it's true
Ok, since no one gonna say it, what about that brief relationship with Bobby Brown? Yeah, that happened. And someone mentioned her being stuck-up back in the day, she still very much is, probably why Bet didnt invite her to perform because of her attitude, which was thrown my way AFTER complementing her beautiful appearance. She, and her team, has a way to say things that makes a human not wanna deal with her. I used to be a big fan until that happened a couple years ago.
Bobby Brown was messing with everyone in that time I wouldn't say it was a relationship.
I get sensitive about Karyn.
yeah, probably felt hard done by the surge of hip-hop and the recent mumble rap. not forgetting that lil' jon music. there are few amd far in between, but the music as a whole has deteriorated dramatically
So many unsung black artists.
Why buy a 30000 square foot house? Smh
When I was a youngin, I always Karen White and Stephanie Mills were sisters. Both ladies are gorgeous and should’ve much bigger than how they was presented.
