{{I've Learned to Respect (The Power of Love)}} That song have a very spiritual meaning, really moving too!
Angela Winbush wrote that song in 1976 for Alton McClain & Destiny and then it was topped in the charts in 1986 by Stephanie Mills. Finaly, Angie sang it in her 1989 release Its The Real Thing. Personaly, I can't figure out which one is the betta version! Stephanie or Angela? I saw both ladies on the Apollo back in 2000 and they broke down while pre4ming that #. They tore the roof and people of all ages were crying after they finished the song. I heard Angela's version last night and I noticed that while singing that tune at the end she hollered "Stephanie, let me tell ya about that power!" like both ladies have witnessed the same pain and only BOTH know what went down in their struggles. I LOVE THAT SONG YA'LL | |

I love that song, too. I hate to admit I've never heard Angela's version though. Stephanie tore that shit up and the Isley Brothers concert last month. | |

Stymie, I've slept on that woman 4 too long just like you but the damn thang made me regret doing that when I had the chance 2 listen to her solo stuff. It was b4 2 years when I saw "The Real Thing" vinyl in my sistah's crib. I was like "Hey, I see this all the time in the wrecka stow but I pass by it all the time" and I noticed the song title in the tracklist and it took me by suprice cuz I didn't that she sang her her own version. When I played it, I was moved and supriced in the same time cuz I neva heared Angela like this b4. | |
