Meli'sa Morgan - "Do You Still Love Me" It's odd to me that her popularity never really took off. She charted less than 10 songs, and Do You Still Love Me is one of my favorites from her. Of course, the other single from this album gets more attention, but this one's lovely.

Thats my least fave song from the album. As much as her voice could carry a ballad till the bitter end, I think her original material leaves me cold, she could do a remake justice though thats for damn sure. With that said, this is my fave ballad from the same album...
Of course, along with the title song 
As for her popularity, I think Whitney Houston was enough for those record labels. I mean you had the VOCAL BEASTS like Angela Winbush and Stephanie Mills(who can still "rip anybody to shreds" vocally mind you) yet record labels wouldn't touch them, even though they made some hits. | |

I think the producer did BOTH of their debut album(Genobia and Mel'isa I mean) if I'm not mistaken, Meli'sa sang back up for Genobia's debut also. | |

Speaking of the Meli'sa/Genobia connection, Meli'sa wrote this song....
You can clearly hear Meli'sa's prints from the chorus harmonies, its right up her alley. | |

"Do Me Baby" is simply an exceptional album from beginning to end!!!
The reason why Meli'sa's career never took off outside of black radio is because she did not have a Clive Davis or Tommy Matolla backing her. Therefore, unfortunately, her music was only relegated to R&B radio. So many black female singers of the 80's sufferred that same fate. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.!

"Now I don't wanna complain but something just 'aint the same with the way you hold me ... I wanna know ... Do you still love me?" I loved this song as a mid teenager when it came out and I'm still in love with it now. And yes Meli'sa I still love you and your voice. | |

Over the years, this song has turned out to be my favorite for some reason.

I have been meaning to pick that album up, have you listened to it?
Here is a recent interview Meli'sa did for the recent promo for that album. Quite a good interview that covers her career from beginning to now. www.soulmusic.com/fecomimo20in.html [Edited 5/31/10 3:05am]

I still remember them playing it at the prom!Meli'sa ruled 1986.
She had like three hits that year: "Do You Still Love Me", "Do Me Baby" and "Fool's Paradise".
Meli'sa has been often copied and/or sampled by others over the years.
"Heart Breaking Decisions" was sampled by Mary J. a few years back.
