      Honestly that’s how music is supposed to be now it’s like if you don’t scream holler or have 1 million riffs and runs you’re not considered a good singer that’s what the new age singers are now I am probably like the male version of Anita Baker don’t give me wrong I don’t sound like her exactly but I have a smooth voice and most people want that rich gospel sound because I love gospel music very very very much but this is just some good flat old singing

      +Antwon Warren Years ago, I remember reading an interview with Luther when he and Anita were on tour together. He said he did suggest a collaboration but for some reason (I can't remember the reason he gave) it never happened. It does make you wonder what could have been? Just the thought of those two voices together is amazing.

      lol Yes, I knew there was some disagreement but couldn't remember what exactly.. It seems like Luther might not have been easy to work with. Similar friction occurred when he and En' Vogue toured together. Things got so bad that En' Vogue pulled out. But whatever the man's personality there's no denying he made great music. Since his passing no other male R&B singer has stepped up to the mark.

    She's another one of are Detroit beauties and talent. My youngest uncle use to date her when she was with, I think LTD or One Way. He said she was a good kisser but was to much into her music, so the relationship didn't last. Dam uncle how did you let that go?

    I saw her and Luther in concert together in the 80s in Houston. She opened for him. Voice is amazing. I got chills hearing her in person, her voice was so powerful
