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!

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

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

It shows just how much she was influenced by Herbie. Great track.

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. lol And right on @ "Never Gonna Give You Up". nod

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".
