Regina Belle, Patti LaBelle, Teena Marie, Chaka Khan ~ Secret Garden

I'm not sure what the pictures in this video have to do with the song, but I remember this got a little airplay on the local Quiet Storm program when it came out.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

I like this. Probaby better than the all male version. Where can this be purchased? What cd was it on (if any)? Thanks.

...Never mind. Found it!

Someone on youtube put the word out a few years ago that Chaka Khan is one of the featured vocalists on this song when she is NOT. The vocalists on this song are Teena Marie, Patti Labelle and Pat Peterson. Pat doesn't even sound remotely like Chaka.

I knew there were 3 people on the song, but only remembered Patti & Teena when I went to look for it on Youtube. I didn't recall a 4th singer, unless they were on backgrounds. I didn't know who the main performer was, I thought it was Najee or Kenny G.

I've seen Pamela Williams CD's in the record store, but I didn't know who she was.

She was Teena's sax player for awhile...Teena does vocals on two songs...
