John Mellencamp also remade this, and there's the J5 version. There was a video on Youtube of Stevie singing this on a TV show, but I don't know if it's still up or not.

Saw her perform this in 2007 and she was absolutely spot on, just like you're hearing it on this album cut.

Actually, N'Dea wasn't the original singer. BNH released some stuff before her with another female singer (I think her name was Linda something) and with Jan Kinkaid (the drummer, who still does an occasional lead vocal today) singing. N'Dea started out singing hooks for Young MC and Jesse Jaymes who were on Delicious Vinyl records. That's her singing (or humming/chanting ) on Bust A Move. You can see her in this video. She's working behind the counter in the diner and also dances near the end of the song

I love your story about meeting her.

I absolutely LOVE Ms.N'Dea. This is one of my fave from them...

Jean Carne's version stands on its own, but I love what they did with it.

I have a CD with some of their earlier songs. There's a couple of songs on it that were re-recorded with N'Dea when she joined the group. I didn't buy the album with Siedah Garrett, but I do have the one with Nicole Russo. I think they were trying to sound modern on that album, similar to Jamiroquai doing the techno style songs like Supersonic. But I was really happy when N'Dea returned though. It's not the same when she's not there. It's like David Lee Roth fans not really digging Van Hagar.

I rebuked the DEVIL off them when Siedah Garrett joined the band. One listen and I practically threw the CD in the trash. Then one day about 10 years after I had it and went "what the hell" and gave it a spin and I LOVE THAT CD! Don't sleep on it. She aint No N'Dea BUT she's a songwriter and they are musicians and they created some special magic on that CD. just love it.

I've never really paid attention to Siedah, even when she was with Quincy Jones. I do like Don't Look Any Further with Dennis Edwards though. I didn't realize that I Just Can't Stop Loving You was a duet at first until I bought the 45 and saw her picture on it. The rap album (Heavy Rhyme Experience Vol 1) BNH did was interesting. I like Wake Me When I'm Dead the best. The Nicole album is alright, but I can't picture N'Dea singing something like this (or doing this video either ).

N'Dea Davenport is a goddess amongst us mere mortals. I fell in love with her vocal styling the first time I heard "Never Stop".

I could listen to that song right now and still weep over it. LOVE IT.
