I'd like 2 hear especially Dinese Williams come out again, that would REALLY REALLY REALLY be a nice 2 hear her voice!

Patrice was in The Scource not 2 long ago i think

Cheryl Lynn...hmmm...I dont know.

Cherelle, if she made another Jimmy & Terry produced album, I'd run out and buy that shit, because after "Cherelle" LP, it just went downhill from there. Although I dont know what her last album sounded like...

What about Anita Baker? She comin out?

Shanice made a fairly recent LP w/ two singles "When I Close My Eyes" and "Yesterday" (a gorgeous ballad). It was realeased in 98 or 99 I think because I saw her at a local radio station's concert at about that time...had a better voice than i thought and is very beautiful.

I'm sorry I should've explained that betta. What I ment is, will be there any future works 4 them, thats what I ment.

PP4-Yep, she's in the making of a new LP.

April-I have it, its her slef-titled lp from Laface records.

Deniece Williams still tours regularly.In fact,I'll be seeing her in concert on February 8,when she performs as part of the "Super Oldies Show" in my area.She will be sharing the bill with other Old School R&B acts like Everlyn "Champagne" King and Heatwave.

Cherelle still tours too.She and Alexander O'Neal are still popular in Europe,so they play alot of shows there (performing as a duo).

Patrice Rushen appeared in a recent issue of Vibe,where she mentioned that,these days,she does alot of behind-the-scenes stuff (film scores,etc).

Up until a few years ago,Shanice was working very closely with Babyface.She appeared on many of his productions.Don't know what she's up to now,but ten years ago,it looked like she had a promising future.

Anita Baker is still living here in Detroit (well, actually in her HUGE lakefront home in Grosse Pointe. . .) playing the stay-at-home mama role. However, she recently stepped out for a local church's fundraiser. I didn't go, but apparently she was in fine voice.

How about

Alex O Neal?
Will Downing?

I saw Mica Paris on 'Parkinson' over xmas - what a performance she gave, I love her voice.

Dont know what happened to your ppl, sorry man...

Shanice married my man Flex! (Dayum!) I've been scopin' him ever since I saw him in Salt N Pepa's "Push It" video!

DJ Masterflex??

Harlepolis said:

Funkmaster Flex the Hip-hop DJ.

Therapy said:

Alex did a full UK tour last year in support of his (then new) album "Sagas Of A Married Man". Executively produced by Bobby Z and on his Zinc Records imprint.

okay first of all, Funkmaster Flex is a pus y... and 2 those who think diff.

Mica Paris needs 2 get back 2 Holdenby Rd. (not even a mile from where :I: live) and find herself again...

Cheryl Lynn lived 2 her words, kept it real and stepped out of the music biz b4 ending up like Donna Summer...

Will Downing recently did an impressive cover of MJ's "I Can't Help It" recently... but he was always good at the ol' covers...

:I: saw Deniece Williams per4m live at a festival in Greenwich, UK in which her band were great but :I: guess she's still trying 2 hear it 4 the boy or FROM a boy...

and Does either Patrice Rushen OR Roberta Flack need 2 release any more material? these women are LEGENDS!!

furthermore on dre's , in 2days sh ty music industry, big ppl ain't being given the chance 2 cut it out there... unless their name is Aretha. Sad ain't it?

1.Roberta Flack

Doing a lot of work with Londell McMillan for artists' rights. Trying to get her catalog ownership from Atlantic. Doing some new work, not for any specific project (Londell wants her to do a Santana "Supernatural" all star album)

2.Cheryl Lynn

Old School Festivals

3.Deniece Williams

"All Mommas Go To Heaven" "Good Men Are Hard to Get/ Keep/ Find/ Love/ Whatever" been to a gospel play lately? She's on the circuit (sometimes even with Tony Terry!!!) (I kid the Tony Terry...heheh...)

4.Patrice Rushen

Tons of session work, she's probably on 1/4 of every smooth jazz cds that come out. Plus scoring.

5.Cherrelle

asked and answered

6.Shanice Wilson

Sleeping in the downstairs bedroom. Shhh, don't make me wake her and prove it... Last she said, she was waiting for Babyface to get distro for his NuAmerica imprint (he left Arista)

7.Nicole Renee

Sleeping down the hall from Shanice. Don't tell her, she doesn't know Shanice and I are also together. She just thinks we're close friends. She doesn't have a deal right now, but she plays guitar and sings me to sleep every (other) night.

I think UptownDeb means Flex the actor/comedian.

Thank you, Classic77!

DavidEye said:

She also appears as a guest vocalist on Kenny Loggins' cd, "Live From The Redwoods" and duets with him on 2 tracks. Still an amazing voice!

June7 said:

Yeah,I heard a song that she did with Kenny.She's really an amazing vocalist.Remember her early hits like "Can You Dance"(1987) and "I Love Your Smile"(1992)?

DreZone said:

Will Downing is a great vocalist. He released two great albums in the 90's Love's The Place To Be{1993} and Moods {1995}. Those albums were the bomb.
