A much needed Black Music thread.

Well done Woody. I also like this remake of Barbara Lewis' Hello Stranger by Carrie Lucas circa 1985. With some backing help from The Whispers.

Heard this gem on Soul Town coming home from work tonight. Love it.

Sadly we lost Billy Stewart far too early. He was killed in an auto accident at the age of 32. Wow what a voice!

And my fav Billy Stewart song. Thanks to rapper Slick Rick for introducing me to his music.

Patrice Rushen... truly legendary

Legendary indeed. An immense talent that was super underrated as far as I'm concerned. Forget Me Nots was probably her signature track due to its being sampled in Men In Black. But my favorite song of hers is Remind Me which wasn't even released as a single so didn't chart.

one of my favs...the end song of a trilogy.....A Thousand Miles Away. 500 Miles Away and ending with this tune….Featuring the vocals of the ill fated James Sheppard who, a few years after this song was released was found dead in a car apparently murdered during a robbery
