    Shoutout to the late great James Mtume who helped co write Never knew love like this before. He was 19 years old playing with the definitive artist of the 20th century, Miles Davis. He also helped write The closer I get to you Roberta Flack and my St. Louis Homeboy Donnie Hathaway. Also his much sampled RnB classic from 1983 Juicy Fruit from his group Mtume. The talent of this era is unparalleled!!!!

      @KrisBryant99 10 місяців тому

      Stephanie Mills was always a mixed bag far as her art goes like as black people we didnt really need our own Wizard Of Oz but something more original 😅 And the reason her music never really blew up is because she was no Prince, MJ or Whitney. Like it's really not that hard to figure out. Sometimes the truth hurts when it comes to our own path or trajectory in life but truth is truth. Mills was just always kinda there but it doesnt mean she didnt impact anyone else. And frankly I think Michael didnt care for her attitude because when you look at most of her responses in this interview, she's either clueless about some stuff or taking up for the wrong people like Harvey Weinstein. Like this lady is just all over the place and doesn't make sense most of the time.

    I was a manager at a hotel where Stephanie stayed in Detroit, she was definitely about the business - so were we for that matter - loved having her with us! That was in the late 80's. Detroiter's love Stephanie Mills she never disappoints!
