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.
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.
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
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.....
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 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.
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.
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 😍😁
@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.
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.
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
Du lourd très lourd puissant chefs d'œuvre absolu immense du grand art d'une beauté inouïe inoubliable 🌹❤️🥂🇨🇵🇺🇲🥂 c'est pas la nullité d'aujourd'hui qui pue grave 👎👎👎. Dany 53 ans
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 🥴✌️❤️
Talented in so many ways she's so underrated I still enjoy her many talents. Patrice Rushen was the best at her music and people didn't respect her craft and I'm angry at Kirk Franklin, Will Smith and a few others that sampled off her great music and hard work. Nowadays nobody in the industry can do it like Patrice just simple beautiful music that I love till this day❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎹🎹🎹
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
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.
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
Patient Patrice rushen is just beautiful Actually after years of Forget me Nots she bounced back on a new label Arista Arista for the fans to Watch out!!!
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
One of the funkiest keyboard players of all time....her...... benard wright...Kashif...Bernie worrell...bob James...Mike Spiderman Robinson...Randy Muller Herbie hancock...and the keyboard player from the group slave
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😁
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.
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!
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.
This women is a National Treasure
She was and still is a beautiful woman
She so tiny but mighty. Also a musical prodigy.
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.
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 🤔
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.
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.
This song came out in 1987. Janet, Jimmy and Terry released Control in 1986. Try again.
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 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!
SHE STILL IS GORGEOUS
I can definitely see why Prince had a crush on her
I never knew that. 🥰
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
spring time 1987'''', westside of Detroit''''' middle school days,,
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.....
My girl Patrice Rushen straight SLAYED this song and video. YES!
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.
Definitely the premise for Ms. Jackson...❤❤❤
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 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.

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.
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.
who will still be listening to this in 2024 ?
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.
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 😍😁
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.
As a white man....this is great black music, back when black music was fantastic! R&B, Slow Jam, Funk...this is just great!
She is even better on keyboard !
Never forget this !

I remember when this was played on an episode of Moonlighting.
I'm so glad my parents introduced me to this gem when I was about 5.
Oh my heart is skipping beats she is so beautiful
The most underrated artist of all time.
I so agree, she's so great.
my god she's so cute. I'm in love with her
All that sheer raw talent, and not one single mention of girl power.
As a young boy, I ADORED this amazing Woman! 😍 Hava Happy Birthday, Queen Patrice! 🎂🎹🎶
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
Patrice was gettin DOWN!! She is so very talented and yet so underrated. Still watching in 2020.
This is real music and her beauty

one of my favorite from a very underrated and super talented female artist!!
Nat Turner perfect comment!!!
I remember this video from back in the day . Nice self indulgent moment for me to revisit this era .
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.
I think the smiles on those dancers faces are completely sincere. It looks like seven people having the best day at work they’ve ever had!
Where's that pier located does anyone know?
This is just so cute by Patrice! So true too! Very well done!! There is just nothing she can't produce or do! Multi-talented, gifted! Prodigious.
Heavens gifted Natural
I wish can go back to the 80's
Lindsey Fields mee too
Amen. Let's go.
@@08prema Thank God for UA-cam

Shes a bad mama jama!
Still is, and so talented.
I was thinking the same thing
I’m 34 yrs old and have never heard of her!😱 She is SUCH a vibe..I always thought Roberta Flack sand Forget me Nots
So glad you found her. Do yourself a favor and look up her other music. You are in for a treat, trust me. There was nobody quite like her.
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 🥴✌️❤️
Patrice really has that dock rockin' at the end there.
OMG. She is such a great personality... can´t get enough of her voice, looks and ...unique ways, I am fascinated.
