​@Cabo Wabo very different styles, express yourself has a lot more mo-town inspired bass line, this one is too quick to be mo-town, kinda fits the disco or jazz inspired funk you'd see in old Kung fu movies. I could see this bass line being used in a Wu Tang sample.

Word

[@CookinginRussia]

The woman in this video is Zelma Davis, an incredibly talented studio vocalist who just happens to be beautiful (unlike about 99% of studio vocalists). I have an amusing story about her. One day back in the late 1980's in Hollywood, I was in a Taco Bell. The background music was playing John Lennon's, "Imagine", which is an award winning incredible track. You wouldn't think it could possibly be improved upon. Then from across the floor there came an angelic, magical voice singing along with it softly. It was AMAZING! It was like, "This would have been a thousand times more popular if this woman had only been on the recording!" I had to go see who it was. Yeah. Okay. It was Zelma Davis. Same woman as is in this video. She was a triple-scale studio vocalist and key to the success of C&C Music Factory. She had it all. Then got mixed up with the very wrong people.

She was very young, I often thought why are they giving her such a hard time. She was very talented on her own, too bad she was used like that.
