Patrice Rushen appreciation Let's talk about her music. I love her use of melodic percussion or whatever it is, it sounds so pretty, pure, calming and melodic. I love Remind Me and Forget Me Nots best | |

some of my favorites by her....
"Remind Me" (1982)---so breezy and melodic.It's always a treat to hear this song. "Look Up" (1980)---early 80s funk/R&B at its best "Haven't You Heard" (1979) "High In Me" (1984) "Feels So Real (Won't Let Go)" (1984) "Get Off (You Fascinate Me)" (1984)---don't be fooled by her cool demeanor...Patrice can get FUNKY when she wants to! This jam is hot! | |

Patrice is awesome 
I'm listening to her first album  "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." | |

"Let There Be Funk" is an underrated funk classic! Now I have to ask this question: was Patrice on the vocoder to that song?  I think I asked when I posted the song here and on YouTube but no one answered me. | |

In that case I will check out more of her work. I caught a couple of her late 80's stuff and didn't like it at all, but the early 80's stuff sounds pure and timeless like fine wine | |

I'm a big-time fan of hers. "Remind Me" is one of my favorite songs.  "You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup...Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend." - Bruce Lee

also "Never Gonna Give You Up".The first one, I didn't even know she did it until a few months ago. Up until this year, I thought it was done by Musiq. And right on @ "Never Gonna Give You Up". | |

I haven't listened to some Patrice in a while. I just put this record on...
I am in bliss when I hear joints like "Where There Is Love," "Forget Me Nots," and "Remind Me". Check me out and add me on:
