Its been awhile since I've seen this shit:

[Youtube link snip - luv4u]

I ADORE Baby fingers

that shit was nice..thanx..one of my fav jams...

Patrice could play the SHIT out of that bass!

Didn't Prince have a crush on her? Also, didn't he offer her songs and she turned them down? . .

patrice rushen luv her

I always knew that Patrice could play keyboards. But is that really her playing bass on that track? Cause if it is, She is even more talented then I thought. That bass line is one of the funkiest ever!

Boy, did Prince turn his back on her.

I Wanna Be Your Lover was written for or about Patrice. Somebody else can clarify, I'm sure. That's all I can offer.

About Patrice. I think he wrote "I Feel For You" FOR Patrice.


Anyway I just about lost my shit when I saw Patrice playing on the stage this year at the Grammys.

Yup. That's Patrice thumpin' and pluckin' on "Forget Me Nots". That bassline is right up there with "Let's Work".

This is a good video.I love the ending when Patrice gets her man back,much to the dismay of his new girlfriend,lol.

The bassline is by Freddie 'Ready' Washington.

Freddie is a longtime-buddy with who Patrice composed a lot of stuff .
That 1982 album has some classics : Remind Me, the instrumental Number 1

Almost every album of her is worth to check .
The album after Forget Me Nots was her first project which she could finalise at her own home-studio .
She told in an interview that it was a relief not to be bound on the high studio-costs , and therefor be able to explore with her creativity . The final album-result proves that( imo ) .
She launched that album with Feels So Real ( Won't Let Go) . Again another solid bass-line in this track .
Similar to this song is Gett Off ( LOL , not the one from )
Two other songs that stand out on this album are the infectious mid-tempo Perfect Love with another superb bass-slap of Freddie , and To Each His Own .

I met Patrice a few years back on a festival . She played as a guest in another artists band . With a few fans we had a great chat and all our vinyl-records signed . We hoped that she would come back again wityh her own band , because she's got such a fine voice . It's a pity that she doesn't use that so much anymore .

As for the Prince-story .
I have a magazine-article at home in which Patrice explains how that story went.
I have to check it at home , but i remember it had something to do with a record-deal or musical collaboration .
In the article is also a picture of them together .

I wanna be your lover can be mixed with forget me nots very well

A buddy of mine did once in a nite-club a spontanious live-mix from If I Was Your Girlfriend to Juicy Fruit(1983) from MTUME .
The rhythms and click-track-loops of both songs are very similar .

Nice comments, fellas.

Can we please get an explanation as to why we can't post links to video clips now? This is ridiculous moderating.
