Wow,I didn't know that she had a 'Best of' CD!


Old School Lovin'
Love's Taken Over
Who Do I Turn To?
It's Alright
This Time
I'm What You Need
My Special Perfect One
Wey U
I Love You
Train Of Thought
This Moment Is Mine
Chante's Got A Man


I can't believe they left off "Candlelight And You" with Keith Washington.

Candlelight and You is classic. One of my faves was the Jam & Lewis produced, Love's Still Alright.

"Candlelight And You" by Chante Moore and Keith Washington (1992)

I love her work with JAM & LEWIS...

"Mood"
"Chante's Got A Man"
"I Started Crying"


and one of my fave midtempo jams ever...


"Better Than Making Love"

^^^I was just thinking of Better Than Making Love--love that song. You beat me to it. And Wey U was one of my favorite songs on that soundtrack along with Chaka’s Funny Valentine.

I have all of her CD's, but my favorite is her second, "A Love Supreme".

shorttrini said:

Yeah,that's my favorite too Au underrated 90s R&B masterpiece!

I met her years ago, right after her debut dropped. MAN, she is even MORE gorgeous in person, with her short self.. very pleasent as well. I have an autograph pic of her.

I also love this track:

It was during "World Aids Day". My cousin and I heard that she was going to be a "checkout girl", at the HMV's in the city. Soul, when she walked up in that store, I nearly lost all bladder control. She had on black tights, black turtle neck sweater and a gray wool coat. Her hair was long and jet black and flowing...When I went to the register, to pay for, "A Love Surpreme,(what else), she came around the register, thanked me, signed the the CD and a picture. The she kissed me on the check! One of my canes fell to the floor and she bent down to pick it up, I just stood there like a damn fool with this look of bliss on my face...I have met many celebrities in my lifetime, but that is one day, that I will always remember....

Glad you had a nice experience

Really? I had the biggest crush on Ms. Moore back in the day. Besides her looks, I've always thought she was overlooked. Back when 5 octave vocal ranges we're appreciated, you would've thought she would've sold more. I bought her first tape, yes tape when she first came out in the early 90's. I loved it, but thought her image was too old for her back then. Wasn't she like 20 or something when she dropped? They chose to take her more on the contemporary jazz route. She was in great company, I believe George Duke did production on alot of her first joint. Again, great music but I'm not sure she ever connected to her own age group at the time. By the time she hooked up with JD, it was too late for that in my opinion. Nice soprano.

Oh yeah, I saw her once at a concert between the WTC in NY around 2000. I think Chante's Got A Man was her big hit at the time. BT Express opened before her.

shorttrini said:

She must've looked fly as hell and sounds like a genuinely down to earth person. You must treasure that autograph.

I just realized I get her confused with Tamia

Musicslave said:

Let me add that I remember her sounding great live too. She sounded just as good if not better live. There's my three cents on Ms. Mo

For this whole thread?

scriptgirl said:

You are TOO cute, Scriptgirl....

SoulAlive said:

All I ever remember about Chante is wanting to pick up this album when it came out. I don't even remember which song I wanted it for, probably the title cut.
And thinking she was stunning.

I never did pick this up.

I love Chante. My favorite cd from her is her 3rd. This Moment Is Mine is damn-near perfect from start to finish.


She should kick J-Lo and Rodney Jerkins for reusing her song.

daPrettyman said:

DAMN!!!! Rodney ought to be ashamed of himself! That's just fuckin lazy.

WOW!!

johnart said:

Get it! It's a stunning CD.

daPrettyman said:

I can't believe I never noticed that before. That's just tacky. He should sue himself.

JackieBlue said:

Shorttrini, why am I cute? No, not for the whole thread, but I do get Tamia and Chante confused. Didn't they come out at the same time?

scriptgirl said:

Like I said before, I consider you the lil' sister that I never had...I think they did, with Chante coming out maybe a few months earlier.
