Now that bad ass soul sistah could've been easily the 3rd diva along with our longtime powerful vocalists soul sisters(I'm talking about queens of the 90's Mariah & Whitney) if of course the right label was backing her ass up then.

Ya'll remember "Love Changes" with Kashif?? Phew now that what I call REAL SINGING it was the toppest song from Kashif so far and I ain't too crazy about his voice but he sho as hell knew how to pick a killer RnB female vocalist. That song put serious shivers down my spine.

PPL(esp here lol ) weren't too crazy about her debut single 4 the simple fact that its a Prince's song but I couldn't give a damn,,,I loved her version too.

What happend 2 her anyway?? where she is and how she's doing?? I wouldn't post this if tired ass yahoo put sites about her I'm searching through the net and I still didn't find any in4mation about her.

I don't know what happened to her but I know she came out with a song in the late 90s that was a jam and it got no airplay.

I loved her voice! And her big hair!!!

I think her version of "Do Me, Baby" is one of the best P covered songs out there!

Just this past Thanxgiving my brother and I pulled out that 45 and sang that jam at the top of our lungs at 2am!!! (We were stinking drunk...by the way) Ahhh..good times!

Been wonderin' about her and Alison Williams. When i do a search on the net i get basically nada.
Somebody ...
ONE

I want to say that she might've appeared in one of those off-off-off-off-off...Broadway plays at the Beacon Theater (Some of y'all prolly know whutumtalkin'about. That blaxploitation thread's got me thinking that there MUST me a name for this genre of plays) but, I'm not certain.

I've always thought that Thelma Houston looked like an old Shanice.

Her weave killed her.

,,,they're nice. If you want to look at a messy hair you might as well look at Wendy Williams(whew )

I had Her Al Green Re-Make of "Still In Love with You" that Bernard Belle a Songwriter who Co-Wrote "Remember The Time" with Michael Jackson&Teddy Riley Produced on Her.I saw a Interview with Her years ago but She didn't get enough Pull from the Label i believe.She was Badd&A Fine Soul Sister but you know the game if you aren't Money after a While you get Dropped.ask Lisa Fischer??Politics 101 of the Biz.

it's basically a modern day version of the chitlin circuit.

Rhondab said:

Exactly, the shit came back to life & ate her

I actually ran into her about three years ago.

Don't want to sound like I'm name dropping here, but I was in the studio with JT Taylor while he was working on his most recent solo CD. Me'lisa was there recording her vocals for a duet with him, and she sounded terrific as ever. She told us that she was working on her own joint and had a CD-R of one of her new mixes which we played. FUNKY AS HELL!!! Didn't get the name of it, and I don't know if it ever dropped, but I know she did have a major distributor for her label at that time so who knows???

Great voice and a very nice lady!!!
