Thanks. Was wondering whose voice it was

[@pynelopi]

The difference between the other groups and this one… is I actually sang vocals on it. True.. my dear friend Jocelyn did record a song which a sample was taken from (not by me) and she actually was never paid for it due to the fact that she didn’t write the song the sample was taken from. If you notice.. I don’t sing that part live either.. only what I sang on the record. Cheers!!!

[@nesq4104]

@@pynelopi wow. Thanks for the response and insight. I was a kid when I heard this song, I could tell there was two different voices and that the voices didn't match the singer shown. Plus couldn't do a KZbin analysis and have access to all your videos so easily unlike modern times. Regardless your voice is excellent and that energy you have really makes me feel like I got the power in those moments in life I feel run down. I replayed this video so many times recently because your performance had me so hyped it got me ready to meet life's challenges again. Thank you for your wonderful music, energy, and sharing your gift to uplift people like me.

@@nesq4104 Wow… I love it when people have the insight to understand such a complicated situation. Generally they do this to singers when they don’t want to pay them their fair share. I didn’t get my fair share either but because of Milli Vanilli, they had to find me to represent the group. The music business is crazy but can be rewarding also. Thank you for being a solid fan.
