Who said Patrice Rushen was a "One Hit Wonder"?. Patrice Rushen is one the most indluential, and dynamic Artists and MUSICIANS in R and B and Jazz.!!

Some of these young kids kill me! They critique a few records now they're expert on on the music industry. Some of them can get very disrespectful. They take out generation of music and butcher it just for views??? I mean if they want to get into it at least they should do proper research.. Patrice a (One-hit-wonder)🤔😀🤣

[@steelcurtainsteeler2249]

@@empire7179 I agree with you 100%!!!

Patrice is considered the female version of Prince when it comes to musicianship. She’s a classical trained Jazz musician and has several other hits as well; “Haven’t You Heard”; which was sampled by Kirk Franklin, and “Feel So Real”, “You Remind Me”, “Number One” to name a few. Patrice has also been the musical director the 46th, 47th, and 48th Academy Awards ceremonies. She’s definitely worth taking a dive into.

[@alberthaust4542]

She is a good jazz pianist.

[@gabrielmcdonnell8699]

Yep, ithe musical dexterity and the overall mentality of a composer/producer, PR is Prince’s match. Now ON STAGE, in my humble opinion, Janelle Monae has that Prince-esque charisma and ownership. ✌🏽

[@russelbarnes7235]

Musical prodigy, musical genius, musically gifted is Patrice Rushen. Underrated, underappreciated is Patrice Rushen. Covered by the likes of Mary J. Blige and Musiq Soulchild this woman has all the talent in her less than 5ft stature as many, much more famous musical icons. While she didn't chart high and often, she did make great music that you should check out. Settle for My Love, is my suggestion. (Covered by Musiq) You'll enjoy all of the suggestions I've seen here.

[@rmar67]

This song has an amazing bass line.

[@ciuciulala8888]

yes, it's wonderfull

[@benarmentano3799]

Patrice is very well respected in the music world as a great jazz keyboardist/arranger/composer...

[@IceManLikeGervin]

And she teaches music at USC...

[@DDP-b3o]

Actually Ms Rushen had numerous hits that also included "Havent You Heard", and "Feel So Real", that were in the US top 100 along with "Forget Me Nots". She had many other great songs that you should listen to. Definitely not just a one hit wonder.

[@keepgrindingup7661]

Back in the day this song absolutely roared into the clubs and the energy was true and pure

[@Lovejazz01]

Fun fact- the sax 🎷 player in the video is the legendary Gerald Albright, he played on so many R&B and Soul songs back in the days (70’s to 90’s) and became one one most legendary smooth jazz artist!

[@tc5837]

That bass line is killer!

[@jimmiesmith5811]

Patrice in no way is a hit one wonder Hang it up ⭐⭐⭐ When I found you ⭐⭐⭐ Let sing a song of love ⭐⭐⭐ Didn't you know ⭐⭐⭐ Haven't you heard⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Keeping faith in love ⭐⭐⭐ Settle for my love ⭐⭐⭐ Given it up is given up⭐⭐⭐ Look up ⭐⭐⭐ Never gonna give you ⭐⭐⭐ Don't you blame me ⭐⭐⭐ I need your love ⭐⭐⭐ Forget me nots ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was tired of being alone Remind me ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Number one ⭐⭐⭐ Where there is love ⭐⭐⭐ Break out ⭐⭐⭐ If only ⭐⭐⭐ Feel so real ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Get off you fascinate me ⭐⭐⭐ High in me ⭐⭐⭐ Heartbreak heartache ⭐⭐⭐ Watch out ⭐⭐⭐ The term one hit wonder is being over used nowadays the stars indicate my opinion about the songs she great dance music and ballads as well instrumentals too

[@greymattervandal]

@1:37 Yep! I liked watching the dots finally get connected.

[@desslone]

Love her reactions to where she heard a tune before.

[@jonnno243]

Remember Will Smith using this for The Men In Black theme.

[@michaelv9929]

This is a classic example of how music USED to have meaning you actually felt it what the artist was saying ❤(IMO)…unfortunately nowadays(most) music has become 😏😢

[@robertbagley9199]

At 66 I'd say I've heard a fair bit of music and I'd say there's plenty of 'meaningful' songs out there from a lot of todays artists too, depends what you listen to I guess.

[@ianlove1215]

I could almost hear you thinking at the start "Where have I heard that tune before????" And you got it!!!!

[@jeffchampagne5587]

Such a sweet, bouncy, catchy, almost perfect pop song… I’ve always loved it and I always will

[@edalisauskas7313]

Patrice was a very busy session player. Played with Many jazz artists. An in-demand gal in the 70s & 80s 😀🎵

[@redfullpack]

Angela, i think you were born after this song. Patrice Rushen Forget Me Not was the most catchy song from the late 70s

[@davids5336]

Another viewer is correct! Patrice is not a one hit wonder! She had other hits including Haven't You Heard, You Remind Me, among many others! She is also a very talented Musician, and is also obviously very fine and foxy! She is one of my favorite artists of all time!❤❤🎉

[@scottvassiliou6446]

She had other charting songs but only 1 top 40 hit on Billboard.

[@Lovejazz01]

Also One of my favorite artists of all time, too! Babyfingers!

[@trinamcdonald1865]

So true which I love those two songs as well. But I think the reviewer uses the Billboard 100 charts as a reference.

[@gabrielmcdonnell8699]

Thank you, Angela! 🙏🏼 (Patrice has another song called “Remind Me” that’s been often sampled. Mary even stole it for the chorus of her song “You Remind Me” 😂)

[@sharonlabrecque1655]

Patrice Rushen was great!

[@jshizzle6866]

As far as your criteria goes, yes she would be a one hit wonder. But because she was a great musician she played with and helped produce a number of hits for other artists.

[@stevebrien1041]

Need to see all of your dance moves

[@solofly5793]

Patrice Rushen is great musician/composer had a lot of hits outside the mainstream - “ Forget me Nots” was also featured in Tom Hanks movie “Big” back in 80s

[@jessieball6195]

yes, you probably remember the "Men In Black" sample of this song.

[@ajs41]

This has been sampled so many times, particularly by Men In Black and George Michael with Fastlove.

[@ccth22]

I think Patrice has always been more behind the scenes. Production and directing stuff like the Grammys and other award shows.

[@alexrafe2590]

I LOVED the beat and lyrics to this song. Oh hell I loved everything about this song😁

[@anthonyrobertson2011]

I had totally forgotten this song. Then I heard it in the movie "Big" when it was a new vhs rental.

[@jpoptop]

One of my absolute favorites from the early 80s. Really takes me back. 🥰

[@themajicman745]

She performed at my old job about 8 years ago and she was a beast on that piano which I didn't know she could play like that. I think that she was a child prodigy on the piano. I would love to see you react to Betty Wright and her song "No Pain No Gain" (Live version) She was a vocal beast!

[@lara314]

She's such a great pianist. The instrumental "Roll with the Punches" has an amazing piano solo.

[@paulkane7771]

Yes, she was. In fact, there was a tiny piano in the womb with her, where she would practice before she came into this world!

[@brenthowell8883]

Love her! She's also a fantastic musician.♥️🎸🥁🎹

[@willmoney34]

Such a great roller skating song!!!!

[@shelbys6572]

Love this oldie. People were the real thing back then.

[@lamusiclover2264]

Patrice was actually a jazz keyboardist before she started singing on her albums and going more R&B and dance. She had some other great hits, "Haven't You Heard?" "Look Up", "Feels So Real" are some of them.

[@marklavor6618]

Hi Angela this was my grade school to high school love this song

[@clarenceguidry9632]

Patrice had so many hits you should listen to remind me

[@Lfg117]

1982 Music slayed! 🔥

[@MsGoon40]

This song inspired two other hits: Men in Black by Will Smith, and Fastlove by George Michael.

[@rodneywiggins7080]

One of my favorite song of hers is titled / You remind me a master JAMMM!!!!

[@jontastic]

Love the bass guitar and vocals

[@edyarb]

This song was in the movie BIG starring Tom Hanks... in the trampoline scent during his "sleepover" with his girlfriend, and was also sampled in the MEN IN BLACK theme by Will Smith.

[@markspiteriy]

Absolutely love this song. The tune was sampled by Will Smith for the song “Men in Black”

[@eggy1962]

And Gorge Michael’s Fastlove, which featured Patrice on backing vocal

[@chrisv966]

This song always reminds me of Tom Hanks and Elizabeth Perkins in evening attire jumping on the giant trampoline in Tom's loft in the movie "BIG".

[@ElliottStiles]

this was the summer of 1982

[@Lfg117]

That song: Underrated then, in 1997 and now, in 2023. 1-Of-a-kind sound.

[@fricky11111]

More 80's 1 hits.....Let the Music Play....Shannom

[@allendixon7700]

This one is is absolutely it's absolutely my favorite 1ofall

[@allendixon7700]

I don't like the song too much though hey

[@allendixon7700]

😅😅😅

[@geraldjackson3921]

She had a lot more than one hit, remind me, Haven't you heard, feel so good Those are just 3 and she had a lot more

[@januariewilliams4533]

patrice rushen wasn't a one hit wonder. She is a legend in jazz and other forms of music and a great musician.

[@paulmac63]

Sniff n the tears , " drivers seat" . Possibly late 70's early 80's , i amsure it was pretty much a one hit wonder , great song Angela

[@gsprings43]

i think she was the first black artist signed tp epic records back in the 70's

[@fantasyguru26]

As one who is very familiar with Patirce's music, I have a difficult time classifying her as a 'one hit wonder'. Because she was a jazz/r&b artist I'd look at the R&B charts and there you will find 5 top 20 hits - this one, Feels So Real (Won't Let Go), Haven't You Heard, Look Up and Hang It Up. She also has some cult hits like Remind Me and Number One. Her music has also been sampled several times in hip hop.

[@thomasogrady8899]

Shalamar - A Night To Remember (M&M Remix) Must play this song... Wonderful disco dance song.

[@johnthegreek5836]

I remember this song, it was good for the 80’s

[@Janadu]

This song was in the movie Big with Tom Hanks, too.

[@mikefixx7177]

I remember hearing and dancing to this song under the disco ball ! Those were the days

[@carloscastro9138]

Very catchy tune , I love it !!! pure 80's at it's Best !!!

[@MegaINVADERGIR]

One hit wonder!? Patrice Rushen got hits! Her catalog is crazy. Put a lot of respect on her name!!

[@allendixon7700]

There's a song you are a magnet and II am still magnet and steel. I had answered the song

[@allendixon7700]

It's stuff that's what I say when I say you're a sweet looking lady I'm still and she's a magnet hey all right😅😅😅

[@gabrielmcdonnell8699]

True. But with all due respect, in general, ppl are NOT listening to Angela’s explanations of her parameters for this theme. #Top40BillboardPopCharts ✌🏽

[@greglegakis4177]

Pronounced Rush-in. Sampled by Will Smith for his hit "Men In Black."

[@kennewton7518]

My friend you're mistaken if you think Patrice Rushen is a one hit wonder. She has tons of number one hits and song she's done with other people including Prince

[@garywicker2791]

Always liked this song.

[@angelomaurizio1668]

You'd think this would've done better on the Billboard charts; this is a great song! Her voice reminds me of Charmaine Sylvers of The Sylvers.

[@wilbursims5565]

That's my record❤ thanks bomb beat

[@davidallen-ro7kc]

That music will get you up dancing ❤

[@ronaldstokes4841]

'S pronounc'd, Russian. Reminds me of the Will Smith movie, 'Men in Black'. By th' way, love the hair.

[@scottvassiliou6446]

Great song ! Brings back memories of my younger days. Even though she had one big hit , their are other good songs in the catalog that are known.

[@jeffneher9762]

This sample also appears in the George Michael Fast Love tune toward the end....

[@alsprettycreations8005]

Great video, Patrice Rushen (last name pronounced like a citizen of Russia ... "Russian") had a string of classic hits in the 80's, that include... You remind me, haven't you heard, and she also plays the keyboards, flute, clarinet and percussion very well. But she's definitely not a one hit wonder. Infact, you should do a reaction on her other large hits... You remind me and haven't you heard, again great video.

[@mikedignum1868]

Classic album...If there is a sax its the 80s.

[@graemeturner2536]

Love this song, she has a great voice

[@chalmapatterson544]

Thank you for reacting to a wonderful artist?

[@kimbixler6821]

Love my 80s.

[@zunbake3]

My Sister loved this song when I introduced it to her, she kept playing it for like a year.

[@RobertaSirgutz-tu8xu]

Great choice. Good that you're featuring these artists.

[@bradsense7431]

Watch her perform this live playing in Lee Ritenour’s band at the North Sea Jazz Festival in 2009. The whole concert is on YT. She is very talented and I have seen many videos of her playing jazz.

[@dunbizl]

You should check out The Style Council - Ever Changing Mood

[@gabrielmcdonnell8699]

My favorite song by them. 👍🏼

[@EvilTheOne]

As Patrice came out of the jazz genre, that was what she was more known for. She's helped here with two other jazz greats bassist Freddie Washington and saxophonist Gerald Albright. Even though she's looked at as a one-hit wonder, this song was off her seventh studio album. She even appeared and played keyboards on close to 300 albums that were released in the U.S. and Japan. GREAT CHOICE ANGELA . . . GO GET YOUR GROOVE ON!

[@markgermana7574]

Thanks for listening to this one, Angela. (Empire....don't be disrepectful) :)

[@willfromyadkinville]

i love her! her music was dance club galore!

[@Wordsmyth8]

Fantastic song!

[@deantitus9734]

This song was sampled for the Will Smith hit Men In Black!!

[@patrickgiles7240]

Saw her in Knoxville back in the the day with Mtume and Jeffrey Osborne

[@richardsaintjohn8391]

I had the 45 single. Played it a lot

[@mauricecole1196]

The whole album was a hit the song was sampled for Men n Black starting Wil Smith one many movies or records being sampled from back in the day.

[@kennethfrawley]

Great record, but the best bit of it is the bass track. Brilliant!

[@erickent3557]

Great sax playing needs to make a comeback. never thought much about it back then, but re-hearing all the old tunes with sax played so well... yeah, an embarrassment of riches to pick-n-choose from.

[@GLAS63]

I'm so glad all the music lovers put that "One Hit Wonder" mess to bed.. Probably thought Will Smiths "Men In Black" is the original...lol

[@markmoses4646]

George Michael also sampled this song in his Fast Love track.

[@brevlod]

…..first thought I had in my head as soon as I saw the title….good old Fast Love….GM.

[@steelcurtainsteeler2249]

Someone slipped up on Patrice Rushen... she was not a one hit wonder... and guarantee she can still out perform the majority of Artist out there today.

[@bigdubt2003]

Sorry Patrice Rushen was not a one hit wonder

[@hevydavy]

This was her only Top 40 hit which is what this is based on.

[@1939lb]

She is a monster on the r and b charts.. cookout approved

[@michaelasay8587]

​@@1939lb but she didn't have many songs....sad

[@scottvassiliou6446]

She had other charting songs but only 1 top 40 hit on the billboard chart.

[@lutherbrice1316]

Patrice Rushen has 1 top 40 hit in Pop but she was a Jazz 2 top 40, dance 7 top 40 and R&B 7 top 40, with all 7 in the top 16. She is an accomplished musical director and jazz pianist. She shouldn’t be in anybody’s one hit category.

[@minelliradney9132]

She was on top for a long time. Her dad was famous She danced on Soul Train as a 15 year old This was not her only hit?

[@Ben-tr]

The bass

[@gsprings43]

jeryl albright on the sax

[@chuckduzzie8529]

That is a good song
