It’s rare of what the message within this song brings out. You can run from love, But it will eventually come to you when you least expect it. The reason why we listen to our heads instead of our hearts is because we’re trying to avoid our families mistakes in relationships. That’s why most people they remain single forever. I guess they really are missing out of what the experience of love is. Very deep song
Then why is so much of her music is sampled by rappers and r and b singers and why is that she produced so many major award shows on major networks how in the hell is that underrated i swear folks throw the word underrated around on social media too much its a frickin insult to this musical genius
ppl don't even know how talented this woman ist... a TRUE musician. check her jazz past before the 80s too. her 80s time was nonetheless GOLDEN. SO UNDERRATED.
Just dont make music like this anymore. That entire era was a mood. Patrice Rushen is one of the greats. I miss the 80s and 90s. Way before America became such a drag
Most underrated female /artist ever. She's pioneered her own style Back in the day, which Jam and Lewis stole and made all those hits for Janet Jackson and others.
Wait a minute, now. I love Patrice. She is one of my all-time favorite artists, but Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis didn't steal anything. They had their own sound and are legendary songwriters and producers.
@@mthunzimhlongo660 Patrice had her first hit in 1982. Jam and Lewis first album was in 1981. They didnt steal a damn thing from Patrice. They started hitting at the same time. Try again.
In my 50’s and this is the first video I’ve seen of hers, although I did play her music in the 80’s. Really like the video, loved the outfit, dance moves, and song. Natural beauty, or cuteness,I see no makeup on her.
This was when every R&B female artist was under the pressure to have more dance choreography in vids, after the success of Janet Jackson's Control album, and the music vids ...but Patrice said she had big fun filming this vid (dancing, and all) ..UNDERRATED song...
This is what happens when a super talented woman like Patrice Rushen takes her abilities to the absolute limit! Her performance in this video is icing on the cake. She looks so so happy and filled with pure joy.
She has always been adorable. Her music brings back good times from when I was a kid. I listen to her tunes and close my eyes and instantly I am back in Cleveland in the 80's!
Ohhhhh, Cleveland, I grew up youngstown, not to far away, ohio players, slave, lakeside, ohhhh yeah you're dazzz band, Cleveland my neighbor dated one of the ohio players I miss them days hearing them practice . Wow.
@FunkyGrass Reviews Stuff. I'm 48 and I remember laying in my bed late night and watching this when it first aired on my local DMV video show "Music Video Connection". I was just starting junior high. Sigh 😞.... such simpler times.
Stephanie Mills is another tiny tremendous talent who could get down and sing her ass off even as of today,as they say big things come in small packages.
This is such a Sweet Video of one of my Beloved Singers. Mrs. Patrice Rushen St Louis. She has a Happy and Loving Spirit. And well LOVED. Her Music Is Relaxing, Colorful and Beautiful. May Our Lord and Savior Bless us, You, and your Family Eternally. God Bless You Patrice 😍😁
this Sista is a MASTER musician. and she's a Bandleader too. among having other musical talents, such as. singer, composer, music producer, and music arranger.
My favorite Patrice song! She was hot then and she's hot now! Great keyboardist and arranger. How can anyone give this a thumbs down? 23 people are insane. SMDH.....
Yes, yes, YES! In the summer of '87, a pivotal year of my life, we were going to visit in-laws near Nashville, AR, and KXAR-FM Hope/Texarkana, which then played "urban contemporary" but usually automated, without calling the names and artists of the songs, ran this over and over on our drive there. The melody and vocals swirled around that air conditioned car like a little black Tinker Belle, but I never caught enough of the song to know what it was, save I was sure it was Patrice Rushen. When we moved to metro Atlanta 4 years later pre-internet I tried to find this song by her but was unsuccessful. ONLY after watching the excellent "Unsung" (series and) episode about Patrice tonight did I get enough of the vocals to do a lyric search, and "Voila"! I've FOUND this after a 33 year search. Thanks, Unsung, and thanks, Ms. Rushen...you uber-talented lady, you.
I've met Patrice we add a good talk she came over and shook my hand now ime only 5ft 9in myself and little Patrice was looking up at me she is absalootley weenie but with such a bubberley personality she is 67 now and still don't look bad four her age she is lovely
I saw Patrice a couple of years ago and thought I’d reminince on the vibes today. First time hearing this song/seeing this video... I just can’t stop playing it 🥴✌️❤️
This is one of maybe three or four 'music videos' featuring Patrice Rushen seen on UA-cam. There are other appearances ( i.e. live concerts, Soul Train appearances, in_studio recordings ). For more type in Patrice Rushen Live in the search field.
Patrice is fabulous l have always loved her extraordinary talent and Beautiful style l have been listening to Patrice since l was in high School way back in the early eighties 1980 1981 1982 she is so phenomenal and so underrated she should have won at least 25 Grammy awards by now she is classic and all of her music is epic gold in my book l will always be one of her true fans this is Geraldine Walker from Saginaw Michigan
A true Genius of music singer,song,writer,arranger,bassist,pianist,producer....and more...,back then music was Made for true profesionals artist.....ni hablar
What I reeeally appreciate about Patrice is that what she produces has the current trend of whatever is current, but in HER OWN VOICE! There are many musicians of yesterday, today who still borrow their voice from others. As a musician, I speak, and we've all done that and that's NOT wrong. But when I hear a musician who expresses in her own voice, That my friends, is genius because he/she has discovered his or her own true voice. Well, those are my thoughts anyway.
OMG!! I forgot about this video!! Thanks to whomever for posting; I am a long time Patrice fan!! Unadulterated musical genius brilliance, genius & beauty all wrapped up inna lil bundle!! My Girl!
Yes she is, I wished that women like her and me was still appreciate for our lil petite figures, and not just our big implant bootys like the media go crazy over now🙄 Lil big bootys still matters😁
I always had a crush on her still do she's so cute and I love this song just bought the 45 record last yr play it all the true classic Happy b-day Patrice Rushen
Young folks it does not matter what color your skin is, if the person you are with cannot move their hips to this song, keep looking! Anyone with soul should be able to move this song. The rhythm is perfect for it.
That part of that forklift with a Yamaha crate. First time I saw this and I'm a boat fan . I thought she pulled out a boat outboard. It was her instrument. Well played Patrice

No weaves, no autotune, and no nudity.....all natural beauty☝💙
so true bro, she was a wee cutie pie
she was a real artist...no need for all that bullshit
Good times...when you need to be talent to be an artist.
@@lilpoindexter shes a music professor at usc
Different times ..The 80s..Women were definitely more natural.
Singer, songwriter, jazz pianist, musician, producer, oh and dancer! One very talented lady!
That's a highly accurate description
Also PROFESSOR at her alma mater, University of Southern California.
She was and still is a beautiful woman
This women is a National Treasure
SHE WAS SO UNDERRATED!!!!!!
Dag she's fine
And SOOOOOO CUTE.
I was just thinking that myself ,could be crap videos and bad arrangements in studio.along with not very good promotion.
Then why is so much of her music is sampled by rappers and r and b singers and why is that she produced so many major award shows on major networks how in the hell is that underrated i swear folks throw the word underrated around on social media too much its a frickin insult to this musical genius
Not by me.
SHE STILL IS GORGEOUS
ppl don't even know how talented this woman ist... a TRUE musician. check her jazz past before the 80s too. her 80s time was nonetheless GOLDEN. SO UNDERRATED.
I need that hat btw!
So Underrated
she never stopped playing jazz at any time
Her fusion of jazz, r&b and funk. Timeless.
A lot of these fans is only in to dance music. They don't no about the jazz & instrumental side of enjoying music 🤔
I have always been a fan of Patrice Rushen. Super talented, and sooooo cute.
Too tooo cute
Big fan of her too
2020
I’m with you ICOMEOUTSMOKIN. Patrice is all that and more!

Wait a minute, now. I love Patrice. She is one of my all-time favorite artists, but Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis didn't steal anything. They had their own sound and are legendary songwriters and producers.
The time frame for THIS song is off but the premise is correct!
@@anthonycoleman9593 but patrice has been in the industry since the 70s, writing for Earth Wind and Fire
@@mthunzimhlongo660 Patrice had her first hit in 1982. Jam and Lewis first album was in 1981. They didnt steal a damn thing from Patrice. They started hitting at the same time. Try again.
I can definitely see why Prince had a crush on her
I never knew that. 🥰
She so tiny but mighty. Also a musical prodigy.
In my 50’s and this is the first video I’ve seen of hers, although I did play her music in the 80’s. Really like the video, loved the outfit, dance moves, and song. Natural beauty, or cuteness,I see no makeup on her.
Saw her recently, still fine after all these years and can still throw down on the piano!
Saw her at the Jazz Café in London, loved it! Would love to see her again
This was when every R&B female artist was under the pressure to have more dance choreography in vids, after the success of Janet Jackson's Control album, and the music vids ...but Patrice said she had big fun filming this vid (dancing, and all) ..UNDERRATED song...
My girl Patrice Rushen straight SLAYED this song and video. YES!
This is what happens when a super talented woman like Patrice Rushen takes her abilities to the absolute limit! Her performance in this video is icing on the cake. She looks so so happy and filled with pure joy.
I can’t get over how cute she was, and her music is awesome.

So cute, so beautiful....AND such a great musician. This video should have 28 MILLION views, not 28,000. Her best song by far.
She's a musician's musician
Not a lot can appreciate that type of musicianship
Forget me nots the best ever!
This track doesn't hold a candle to "Haven't You Heard", "Forget Me Nots", or "Feels So Real", etc.
I can definitely see why Prince felt for her lbs. Beautiful, radiant And pretty damn gifted. Thats a great package lol
Evan G because she's not interested in him
And hence why he wrote the song, "I wanna be your lover!" It was written for Patrice.
BreuckelensFinest NOFREAKINWAYYYDUDE!.. Wow is this a true story??
@@edenevolution451 It's true.
Prince hit that I’m sure
Amazing amazing amazing! ❤️ The music, the dance moves...the 80s vibes. Damn!! Can’t be more real 😎🔥 we love you Patrice!
@FunkyGrass Reviews Stuff. I'm 48 and I remember laying in my bed late night and watching this when it first aired on my local DMV video show "Music Video Connection". I was just starting junior high. Sigh 😞.... such simpler times.
Never realized how tiny Patrice was. She's so cute. Great, fun song. I miss the 80's.
Stephanie Mills is another tiny tremendous talent who could get down and sing her ass off even as of today,as they say big things come in small packages.
I'm 22 and all I listen to is old school ❤️💯.
Definitely the premise for Ms. Jackson...❤❤❤
This is such a Sweet Video of one of my Beloved Singers. Mrs. Patrice Rushen St Louis. She has a Happy and Loving Spirit. And well LOVED.
Her Music Is Relaxing, Colorful and Beautiful. May Our Lord and Savior
Bless us, You, and your Family Eternally. God Bless You Patrice 😍😁

The most underrated artist of all time.
I so agree, she's so great.

Heavens gifted Natural
I saw Patrice a couple of years ago and thought I’d reminince on the vibes today. First time hearing this song/seeing this video... I just can’t stop playing it 🥴✌️❤️
I remember when this was played on an episode of Moonlighting.
I agree 100 percent with other posters this woman is ridiculously underrated she belongs right up there in the ranks of the best of them.
She was pop star. but now she is jazz & smooth jazz pianist!
Kind of the opposite, really. She started out as a jazz pianist and went pop. I don't think she ever stopped playing jazz piano.
As a young boy, I ADORED this amazing Woman! 😍 Hava Happy Birthday, Queen Patrice! 🎂🎹🎶
I remember this video from back in the day . Nice self indulgent moment for me to revisit this era .
A lot of clever visual tricks here. Even my elderly Dad was amused. What fun!
spring time 1987'''', westside of Detroit''''' middle school days,,
As a white man....this is great black music, back when black music was fantastic! R&B, Slow Jam, Funk...this is just great!
This is real music and her beauty
Patrice really has that dock rockin' at the end there.
This song teaching me a lesson

This is the coolest video ever! Thanks miss rushen!
I find it hard to believe that this song did not make the U.S. Hot 100. It didn't even make the Heatseekers chart.
Young folks it does not matter what color your skin is, if the person you are with cannot move their hips to this song, keep looking! Anyone with soul should be able to move this song. The rhythm is perfect for it.
Not available on Spotify as isn't the album it comes off despite them having her other albums, work that out...
Wow,she's a baby. So cute and so small and very talented. Man she's breathtaking.
That part of that forklift with a Yamaha crate. First time I saw this and I'm a boat fan . I thought she pulled out a boat outboard. It was her instrument. Well played Patrice
