As Patrice's braid artist for all of her albums and performances, thank you for the compliment on her hair. Moreso, it is so endearing to have "Forget Me Nots" featured on your reaction video. Her body of work from classical to jazz to fusion to RandB/ is all par excellence - As a multiinstrumentalist, composer, arranger, film scorer, and Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter, Patrice has done it all. That includes being the first African American woman to musically direct major award shows including the Grammys and NAACP Image Awards. She is currently the Chair of Popular Music at USC and an Ambassador of Music at Berklee College. In a word, my dear friend is, "Genius". And yes, she still tours!
Patrice Rushen has been sampled a lot over the years. This song forget me Nots was sampled in the first men in black theme song. Mary J Blige Did a remix of Patrece’s song Remind Me. Kirk Franklin sampled her song haven’t you heard. She was also the first female and African-American music Director for the Emmy awards back in 1995. She is a jazz master, Composer and Doctorate of music. She did a lot of collaboration with prince back in the day. An outstanding Pianist and Keyboardist.
Wow thank you for educating us on the phenomenal Patrice.😍 I wish we knew more about her amazing background & accomplishments. They didn't ever go into details of an artists back in 80s!! She's such a genius, a doctorate in music, jazz master, musician, director of Emmys & working with genius of Prince too!! Hot dang!! Thank you so very much for bringing so much more attention to this fabulous gorgeous woman. I love how Will & Mary J use her song, it allowed more people to hear her... My husband loved the theme from Men In Black I had play him Patrice song on UA-cam, he absolutely loved it. He was a heavy metal head in the 80s before I knew him. He did recognized her song from being played in the bars back then...
Prince was seriously crushin on Patrice Rushen. He wrote the song I Wanna Be Your Lover (which you guys should feature here), to her and he even said so in the album's liner notes. By the way, I love this song, but to me, her biggest banger is Haven't You Heard.
Prince had a mad crush on Patrice back in the day. He wrote ," I wanna be your Lover" ,as a love letter to her. But she didn't feel the same about Prince. I'm sure Prince was in awh of her ability to play multiple instruments.
Heyyyy Fellas this is an awesome selection Patrice career should’ve went further than it did. She played several instruments on this song. This was on Will Smith’s Men in Black soundtrack
Patrice Russian AND Evelyn Champagne King (Shame) were some great "old school" jams! Dancing in the clubs to both back in the day... Both are great singers...
Great song! Patrice Rushen is an accomplished musician & songwriter. She helped Prince get his deal. He had a crush on her & wrote I Feel For You about her. It's also the song he let Chaka Khan record. Also react to Remind Me by Patrice Rushen. You can hear her keyboard skills.
I was maybe 10 or 11 when this came out and my older sister used to play it. I have come to appreciate more as an adult. Just one of the greatest beats of that time period. I love it. And she is just a tiny thing with a beautiful voice. She is under 5 feet tall.
1 of my favs but my #1 by her is REMIND ME and #2 by her FEEL SO REAL. She's an American Jazz pianist so my fav songs have a very very jazz vibe. I'm so glad u guys discovered her👍
One of my all time favorites !!! R&B ,Soul,Motown, Funk, Original Disco .Music was the Best in the 1960's,70's,80's,90's !!! Patrice Rushen was Da Bomb !!! "Forget me Not's" was a Classic Jam !!!! Did Ya'll Review Stephanie Mills yet ?
@@rheeryder2524 So did Great Performer/ Singer Entertainer Stephanie Mills Reach out to @twinsthenewtrend ? How do you know this occurred? It would be Very Strange to not Respond to a Living Legend like Sister Stephanie Mills !!!! Everyone has their Reasons, Maybe they're Shy !!!! LOL. I'd be Star Struck to hear from Beautiful Sister Stephanie Mills !!!! Much Love to her .
My girl....at Langley AFB we jammed to this at the Airmans club on R & B night....she is a musical force....Prince even gave her the thumbs up and that says a lot...she teaches I believe out in LA at one of the colleges...and still performs from time to time...she is a little Sistah only about 5 feet tall
My favorite song by Patrice Rushing, YOU REMIND ME, and the plus is Prince was crushing on her. He should have asked her to be his friend first. Oh, she played many instruments, he must've admired her musicianship, he also had excellent musicianship as well. Hope y'all play more of her music soon. And how can I switch between music so I can here more variety please.
Gerald Albright on the sax!!! Patrice Rushen is a musical prodigy...plays lots of instruments. She's been a musical director for years. Check out her song "Remind Me"...song has been sampled alot!
This is one of my favorites. I'm glad you finally got to this one. Patrice Rushen is just phenomenal and is so underrated. This song has been sampled so many times between Men in Black and between George Michael's song Fast Love(which is one of my favorites). This is always in my rotation with several variations and lengths.
one of the greatet songs imo! 'i was tired of being alone' is another great jam to get down by her, 'burnin' is her getting into minimalistic funk prince mode and 'if only' is one 80's best unsung ballads for real!
Can u just imagine her and Prince as a couple w/all their talent 2gether. They say he had major crush on this cutie PR. I feel bad that it never happened.
This reminds me of 5/82 on my 25th birthday party at the hotel Del and my friend Paige was singing this in her band on stage while we were all dancing and clapping. That was a perfect night.
Patrice Rushen is a genius as a singer, songwriter, producer and an arranger. She can play different instruments like the piano and the keyboards. Unfortunately, this was her only r&b crossover hit. It peaked at #4 on the Billboard Soul chart and peaked at #23 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the summer of 1982. The man who is playing solo sax is the great Gerard Albright.
I wanted to be this woman!! Patrice Rushen is an amazing singer and musician. Has always had hits. You speak of her hair. This was the style in the late 70's to late 80's. She had all kinds of beads, seashells, and much more. Her hair was always on fleek. When you get the opportunity, check out, "Haven't You Heard," Remind Me," "Feels So Real." You won't be disappointed. Don't forget to check out Evelyn "Champagne" King. "Love Come Down," "Shame," "Betcha She Don't Love You."

What a beautiful and talented lady. I will always love her! I love her braids too!
AsHé. Been a fan ...since the first album.
This is what I love about technology! Thanks for the shout to them and the knowledge!
@@kismypencek6185 My pleasure!
she is the reason i fell in love with funk and disco, congrats for being part of history!
She's a musical genius and she plays tons of instruments.
Damn you brought me back loved dancing to this song you made my night love you guys❤❤
@@sagewarrior369 SAME HERE 💃 ❤THIS OLD SKOOL 🔥🔥🔥 JAM
And she is a professor of music teaching music at USC...
True story, love the flip side of this "haven't you heard". And she's a stone fox.
@Felecia Robinson listen to Her on Quest Love Podcast. Worth it. Very underated Musician. 🙏🏽
80’s funk and R&B music was the best. You both picked the right one.
They did!
70's funk, too.
yes it was
They need some Midnight Starr in their life!✌🏻

I heard about that. Too bad they didn't hook up bc l never knew he liked the chocolate girls. He was always w/the Vanity looking type. Nice 2 know.
@@juliemcdaniel499 Patrice wasn’t interested
She was a professor of music at UCLA when I attended and was deemed a child prodigy wasn't she very young? ITA w/ Haven't Ya Heard."
@@wakeupstopsleeping6300 those 2 musical geniuses hooking up, can u imagine the songs and hits. I wonder did she regret that decision.
Not yet seeing your comment; I just commented similar of Prince's mad crush on Patrice. 🤗
Prince had a mad crush on Patrice back in the day. He wrote ," I wanna be your Lover" ,as a love letter to her. But she didn't feel the same about Prince. I'm sure Prince was in awh of her ability to play multiple instruments.
Wow. The things you learn.
Aww
I freaking love that Prince song, too. I miss him...and the 80s.
Prince wrote "I Feel For You" about Patrice as well, off of the same album (self-titled) in 1979.
I love this song - am still dancing to it all these years later.
Heyyyy Fellas this is an awesome selection Patrice career should’ve went further than it did. She played several instruments on this song. This was on Will Smith’s Men in Black soundtrack
Another pint sized musical DIVA and one of Prince's crushes. Before the Brandy and Alicia Keys braids, there was Patrice.
Why didn't her and Prince hook up?
She was 4'10"
@@matthewwoods1016 Is that the reason why they never became a couple?
Absolutely, I remember her from Soul Train and she was musical director on Robert Townsend's show. Very talented.
They would have been adorable together
Patrice Rushen - You Remind Me
Hands Down
I vividly remember dancing in the clubs to this, back in the day. Seems like a hundred years ago...😢
SAME HERE ❗ 💃 IN CALI ❤ @ THE CLUBS & 😂 💯 YEARS AGO 👵🏻👵🏻
Don't it tho?
For me, it was the roller rinks...
I would love to experience that man 😫😫 I was born a little too late eheh
When this song came on in the clubs it took 1 music note, and people couldn't get to the Dance floor fast enough. 🤗
She played All the instruments on this Too🎶💙💕
Wow
Freddie Washington played the bass on this one.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forget_Me_Nots
Patrice Russian AND Evelyn Champagne King (Shame) were some great "old school" jams! Dancing in the clubs to both back in the day... Both are great singers...
If you like this, you gotta check out her "You Remind Me", "Settle For My Love" and "Haven't You Heard"!!
I bet hella people been waiting for this one. Great song! Sampled by many after.
That base line though 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Patrice is a musical genius. She wrote her music and played damn every instrument. Female Prince. No wonder he was crushin' on her back in the day.
Female Prince but she has better songs than Prince
@@GNo03 2 each their own but he became literally the SUPERSTAR.
Valerie l see, do u know why they never became a couple?
Wow...way back to the 80s...very versatile talented musician....vibe still good today ❤
the bass is so smooooth. one of my faves from the 80’s.
That legendary bassline! Patrice Rushen is a prolific artist and musician.
I'm choreographing a routine to the Bass Lines of this song for a Mardi Gras party next year!! DOPEST BASS LINE EVER!!
Ooooooh, yaaas. One of my fave songs of all time

Patrice Rushen is a phenomenal musician... vocalist, pianist, flautist, clarinet, percussion
Thank God I grew up with this brilliant music as a Teenager in the 80s 🎵🙂👍
You Remind Me is another banger by Patrice Rushen!
Forget Me Nots remind me of a backyard BBQ, everyone dancing and having all types of fun during the summer weekend. OH YEAH!! 🙂
The SHE GOAT! She plays every instrument in this song except the sax!!❤️❤️
Yes 👍🏾 ❤️multi talented and so underrated!!!!!!!
Freddie Washington played the bass, didn’t he?
Damn
One of most immediately recognizable bass lines ever. Also check out her song “remind me” from the same album, Straight from the Heart.
Like many have said already, Patrice Rushen is a musical genius! Musician, singer, composer. She's the full package.
one of my favorite songs of all time. she has many good hits, but this is one that stands out to me the most.
Y'all are into that '70's and '80's smooth R & B lately! I love it! Try Teddy Pendergrass' "Love TKO"
Yes Lawd hands down.
Janet Jackson - When I Think Of You 👍
Absolute banger !
Interestingly enuff that was 1 of my least fav song of hers lol. It was a cute sing a long song but didn't HIT ME 2 the core and yes I'ma fan lol.
That bass guitar work is the key ingredient of this smooth song.
“Remind me”Patrice Rushen
Beautiful voice and I danced to this song many nights❤️

Everyone loved this song to dance to back in the day...
That bass is 🔥.
I love Patrice Rushen. She plays all types of instruments. Please listen to, Haven't You Heard.
I'm surprised you guys didn't mention the bass. I wish there was just a recording of the bass part. It's very unique.

Remind Me by Patrice Rushen. She is actually a jazz star. In the 70's jazz & funk found themselves together. Fusion. It was Cold!
I absolutely love this song. But for some reason puts me to tears. Makes me think of my Love that is far away.
Awww it's the words that brings back the memories.
