Anyone heard of her?

Yes, I have. She as well as her younger sister Terrell Hicks, who had a hit with the remake of "Silly", by Denise Williams.

Yes. She's done quite a few Tyler Perry plays (among others). I think she if featured in a few of the Tyler Perry DVDS.
I also remember he cd. I didn't purchase it, but I remember a video or 2 getting played on BET back in the day.

I need to find some music by her because the stuff she has with Tyler Perry is nice...

I think she only released one album and that was in 1989. On CD Baby, she has another cd listed that came out in 2007.

I know she has done several plays including Mama I Want To Sing.

I got that album. I have only played the first few tracks. Producers include Narada, Nick Martinelli, Jellybean, Elliot "paula Abdul" Wolff.... First few track is kinda weak (narada never could do uptempos very well), but I hope it will get a bit better. Just heard a few standard ballads. Not bad....

I'm no longer shocked by sexofit's music catalogue, he knows his stuff very well. I do remember her from back in the day, her voice was not as strong as Regina Belle's or Miki Howard's but she had a distinct style suited for the stage.

Hey, ur av? I own that album LOL. I thought no one else did?

Pretty poor album from what I remember? Sorta soft funk/pop, mid 80's style if that helps? I really need to dig it out again. Thanx for reminding me LOL


Eddie Towns did do some good though. He returned in the 90's in a group called "nu soul habits" (which is just him by himself by the sounds of it, but the lady on the cover co-writes with him I presume?). Album was called "meant to be" and its genuinely good slab at rnb/prototype neo-soul, but not quite so drab and drawn out. That album is genuinely worth a hunt.
