[@Harlem139Convent1]

One of the mist underrated singers of all time, met her many times and she was ALWAYS nice and positive!!

[@RealChicksRock]

Totally agree and what we must do is to continue support good music as much as we can. Thanks for taking the time to listen! #ROCKon

[@susanmayo1176]

Totally agree she has such a voice and presence. Was going to see them in Bristol but N'dea wasn't with them. Love the band but has to be with N'dea 😍❤️🎶

[@mojojojo7923]

Ndea is the Brand New Heavies. Your the best Ndea is the best !

[@americanexpat8792]

I’m an older white guy and I can’t tell you how much I loved the Brand New Heavies during N’Dea’s time with the band. I can’t put my finger on exactly what did it for me. What I can say is that if I had a nickel for every time that I played one of their songs I would be rich by now. Why this band didn’t make it stateside blows my mind? I would say that it is my all-time favorite. Of all their great songs, and there are many, every time I hear 'Spend Some Time', I still get a special feeling. There’s just something about the way the piano begins in that song that is magical. If anybody has other suggestions that either N’Dea has done or another band that is up their alley, please leave a comment. I’ve looked around in the past, but I have never found much beyond a few songs on Acid Jazz. Thanks, N’Dea for all your work!

[@RealChicksRock]

American Expat Yes, N’Dea Davenport is amazing and the Brand New Heavies has that sound you can’t get enough of. Thank you so much for taking the time to check this episode. Be sure to subscribe to the Real Chicks Rock! KZbin channel so you don’t miss the next one. #ROCKon

[@kendallhaynes2622]

Right on, brother!

[@rondeisel]

If you're looking for vibes similar to Brand New Heavies, you should check out a band called "Rebirth." Look for a song called "All this is coming to." Also, you must check out "Incognito." They've been around forever and continue to put out amazing music. Also, Adriana Evans' El Camino album. Cheers!

[@maxfitnesstraining1585]

It was the best time for the BNH the N'dea years

[@derickswinson5634]

Oh my goodness when she said "STAY THIS WAY" was her favorite song my heart just skipped a beat! I LOOOOOOVE THAT SONG!!!?! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Big up N’dea, still lovely. Still Acid splashed with funkiness. Hip Hop always respected The Brand New Heavies.

[@RealChicksRock]

Indeed. Thanks for checking the episode. #ROCKon

[@RogerLato2]

When I was a kid back in the 90s I was in love with Ndea LOL... I admired her as much as Sharon Bryant from Atlantic Starr/Newban. Now 30 years have passed and I still feel the same admiration.. so pure and soulful. Her music is timeless

[@RealChicksRock]

Timeless music INDEED! Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment!

[@waltdiesel]

I love N'Dea!!!

[@RealChicksRock]

So do we! Thanks for checking this episode out!

[@firouz4296]

I have met N'dea literally in a show: She was still sweating and the crowd was screaming for the BNH to come back for an encore! She was incredibly gorgeous and lovely! She invited to meet us later infant of the tour bus where we hung out and chilled with her supporting act I knew her as a background singer as much as part of BNH. One of my most favorite voices of all time

[@RealChicksRock]

She's a genuine person. Thanks for sharing and watching!

[@AnanaParris]

Yesss I love her album 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@RealChicksRock]

She's amazing! Thanks for checking out this episode!

I had conversation with her at Club Cielo, and didn't realize it was her until Katerina the photographer told me it was her. Thanks for the autograph.

[@RealChicksRock]

That’s awesome!

[@1brothermack322]

My girl N' Dea, I love her voice on top of the Brand New Heavies. First heard them in the Mid 80's its now 2022 !

[@RealChicksRock]

Beautiful voice indeed. Thanks for listening!

[@beachlover9705]

This is literally the only interview with her anyplace

[@nowuknow7364]

I was part of that Club scene and bumped into her quite a bit. Such a wonderful time and many positive memories for me.

[@RealChicksRock]

I can only imagine. I know it was awesome. Thanks for checking out the conversation!

[@philliprobinson-muhammad2034]

I've been a fan of N'Dea for a long time. And yes the I really loved her on jazzamatazz. Still have her CD in heavy rotation. N'Dea you will forever be my favorite vocalist with the Brand New Heavies the music you all made was magical. Thank you for giving and posting this interview. Keep making music and please toure sometime if you come anywhere near Chicago I'm there.

[@RealChicksRock]

I really really want to see her more she should be just as famous as Erica Badu

[@marcelodangelo915]

And I can say that BNH were the responsible of me becoming a musician. Listened to Brother Sister when I was 17… still love it…

Just come across this fantastic interview, thank you very much for making it happen and thank you N’Dea!

[@RealChicksRock]

Thanks so much for checking this out. N’Dea is one of the best!

[@terrenceball6439]

Thank you sister for granting us this interview with N' Dea Davenport, loved every minute of it. I could listen to this sister all day, love her when she was with The Heavies & her solo album. She is underrated, but maybe that is a good thing; the core fans can enjoy the music. And she doesn't have to change her music to conform to the masses. But sis can you interview Amel Larrieux, Sy Smith, Deborah Bond, Kindred The Family Soul, etc. Also by the way my sister I am subscribing to your KZbin channel, you are a excellent interviewer; you have a very soothing & smooth voice. Keep up the great content sis.

[@RealChicksRock]

Terrence Ball You’re welcome and thank you for listening!

[@the1211experience]

What a great interview! Cheers from Brazil

[@RealChicksRock]

Oi! Obrigado! Thanks so much for watching!

Oh wow, all these decades I thought she was British. Learn something new every day I guess.

[@RealChicksRock]

She’s American and adapts to different scenes and audiences very well. Thanks for watching!

[@richardcorona3564]

one of my BIGGEST musical heroes!!! When they reuinited for the 2008 album I got to see them live and I am literally at the front of the crowd, singing my heart out and crying practically to every song. Then to meet her and share my gratitude. Just priceless

[@RealChicksRock]

Thanks for sharing your experience and thanks so much for watching

[@user-ft2vf9lk7v]

Angela Winbush, N'Dea Davenport, and Angela Bofill are my favorite soul singers of all time. Awesome interview. Ms. Davenport read my mind. "Brother Sister" is one of my all time favorite songs from the BNH 👍🔥

[@terikathomas2131]

That’s a great list of singers

[@crazifyit]

This was a great interview, BUT I almost didn't make it to the interview because the intro music literally lasted until 6:19! That should be trimmed or you should let people know they can start the interview at 06:19! Great, great interview! I love her music! She is completely underrated & so talented!

[@RealChicksRock]

Thanks for taking the time to check out this interview and provide comments about the intro.

[@Beeswax106]

I found out about her after i heard the song "With Grace" with Dj Krush. Gives me chills every time i hear it.

Love N'dea she has got such a beautiful voice that just fits together with the band and music. Sorry to say the others singers didn't fit. One of my go to songs off the album forward 2013 with the fabulous vocals and music is sunlight. They have done so many great tracks. They have been over to the UK but most the time without N'dea. But would love to see a full concert altogether again in the UK 😍❤️🇬🇧

i never really knew much about n'dea, but her album was in heavy rotation when i was a teenager. had no idea about the brand new heavies connection. couldn't find her music on spotify so i had to pull out the old CD case lol

[@blackcosmos]

All due respect ma'am, but that intro was antagonizing 5 + minutes long are u serious?? I hope your newer videos aren't the same. Plz don't do that to your viewers. In any event, thx u for inviting N'dea on your show...she is one of the greatest of our time yet grossly underrated. She did a phenomenal job onTracie Spencer's 90s platinum selling 'Make the Difference' album as well as Madonna's 'I'm Breathless (Dick Tracy soundtrack) which is a wonderfully creative lil gem as well as her chart topping hit 'Vogue'. N'dea Davenport is a force... always have been ✌🏾🙏🏾

[@RealChicksRock]

Thank you for your comments and feedback. And yes, we have made changes since this was one of our earlier shows several years again. Thanks for being patient with the intro and enjoying the content and conversation.

She bleached her skin. Still pretty, but I loved her brown skin complexion.

[@RealChicksRock]

She's definitely a beautiful person both inside and out. Thanks for checking out the conversation.

[@sharronfoxx69]

Wow…clearly how rumors get started…it’s the lighting that’s also giving a washed out look to that poster in the center. You can see how strong the glare is in her glasses and when her arms are in her lap and in the shadow she still has a “brown skin complexion”….LOL, smh
