Yeah she was behind the scenes with a lot of RnB in the 80s and 90s. She co-wrote New Edition's "Crucial" and sang backup on other cuts from their Heart Break album, and worked with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis a lot, even on her own debut CD. She did background vocals on Janet's Rhythm Nation album, and co-wrote Nona Hendryx's "Why Should I Cry". [Edited 4/16/11 19:37pm] "Get up off that grey line" | |

I don't know about the rest of y'all but there was really...only one thing of importance to think of...whenever I've heard that song.

Her voice sounds very soulful that's why I thought she was black. | |

Damn, my ex had that song on his iTouch....*sigh* we would lay in bed and listen to it in the dark.
Yeah, Lisa Keith has put in alot of work throughout the years at Flyte Tyme. I first noticed her voice on Alex's song, "Criticize". Never heard much of her solo stuff though. | |

Love this song. I remember hearing it (album version) and thought it was ok..but I bought the "Diamonds / Making Love.." 45.. and teh 45 single version is different and features better music production..extra drums and handclaps...although it cuts out some adlibs..I still think it was better.
