Her voice is so beautiful and mature. Always thought she was older back in the late 80s. . As good if not better than Whitney. Aretha. Oleta. Anita baker .
Both being from NJ and I go to church with her nephew who is our choir director. Great family and very down to earth. Very talented but Whitney was in a different category than a lot of these great singers and it was hard to top back in the day !!!
If you listen to her singing voice, she sounded way more mature than she was. I can't believe she was only 26 when she sang Make It Like It Was 😭. But they also made her look older with clothing, etc.
Yeah her styling team tea failed her. She had the looks and size to be styled much more youthful, sexy, and less matronly. I always thought she was in her early 30’s starting her career.
Hey regina how you doing? I just watched your interview for the first time. Damn girl! I never knew that you had a touch of jazz inside of you too. Make it like it was and baby come to me were my 2 favorite old school joints by you. I also like the picture of you on your 1989 album cover showing you with a natural hairstyle. That's a beautiful shot that you took for your album cover. I googled you and read that you were a cancer. You're a water sign just like me. Only i'm a pisces lol! The last thing i heard about you was that you got into gospel. But back in the 80's when you were in your r&b days, i felt that the music industry didn't give you as credit as you deserved. But i'm still a fan of you. Just keep blowing until you can't blow anymore. Because your voice is a gift that was given to you from god. I look forward to seeing you perform live soon. Whether if you perform solo, or if you do it again with peabo lol! May god bless you gina. YOU GO GIRL!
Regina! When I first saw her was at the Budwiser Super Fest coming out AFTER Patti LaBelle. She knocked my sox off! I loved her every since. I drove from Chicago Detroit I believe it was in the year 2013? Peabo was headlining but Regina was who I went to see! She was great and it was the first time I saw Peabo and I'll see Peabo again with nobody! He was the show but I wanted to see how Regina was! I loved it all! I'd dare Janet Jackson to do that?
Growing up, Greatest Love of All - W. Houston had major impact on me. The lyrics to Greatest Love of All are engraved in my brain. Until Regina Belle recently started popping up in my suggested....W. Houston was the only big inspiration I could think of. Then out of no where the lyrics and tears to "IF I COULD" flowed as easily as if R. Belle's song is engraved there too. Thanks for the inspiration ladies. Rip Queen W. Houston
It's very tasteful to know the many backgrounds in music that REGiNA BELLE has encountered , I've always been a strong fan from day one and/or the very first time that I played her music😢 and heard her raspy voice during one my Radio Shows.🎉❤
I loved the Passion album and she had an incredible vocal range, like Chaka Khan, (and was absolutely stunning looking), but listening to her sing at the piano with her brother, I have to say there are shades of Bessie Smith in her voice, I didn’t know she could sing like that. An incredible voice, and model looks when she made the Passion album.
One of the greatest female vocalist of our time.
Totally agree. Love Regina
She is wonderful inside and out.

Rick Wise not better than Whitney

She and Whitney were born the same year. You can't compare them, their style was slightly different, but absolutely memorable.
She was a few weeks older than Whitney, both were born in '63.
They look like sisters but Regina’s voice is richer, darker and has a smoky edge. It would have been fun to see them do a duet.
Silky smooth voice! Simply beautiful!
This woman is one of the greatest singers of all time. Incredibly gifted voice.
You ain't never lied. I love her style of singing.

They kinda did the same thing with Whitney. I think it was also strategic.

I never saw this documentary on television before. Thank you for uploading it!
Oneday in 1989, i bought Reggina's "Passion " CD Album in England by chance and the songs in it have been with me ever since.
She's an amazing artist.
I love this memory! I was born in 89
A beautiful songstress with meaningful songs that make you think!
THIS ANOINTED BEAUTY IS AHEAD OF HER TIME IN SO MANY MUSIC FACETS^A UNIQUE SOUND THAT MAKES HER A NOVELTY^LOVELY ENGAGING PERSONALITY^

Great vocalist! I’m so upset this comment section isn’t flooded
Good producer Bernard Belle.
She was so pretty!
Yes
Its crazy cause she looks more natural here, like no exaggerated makeup as other times I've seen. And she looks the most beautiful this way Imo.
Such a beautiful and wholesome portrait
Love her voice with or without music
That Part
I absolutely love Regina’s music - one of the finest female vocalists EVER!
They should let her play Ella's Fitzgerald

I should've known...this is an interesting documentary. Enjoying it .
She is one of my favorite singers, and she was born the same day as my mom.
You better scat Queen 🎙🎙🎶🎶🌹🌹
She's so versatile with her voice. So underrated
That A train scat was so damn delicious 😋 Reminded me of Ledisi and Anita Baker 💫
RIP Bernard Belle

She could blow, she gotten older and her voice has changed. Maybe she was off on that performance or the band was playing out of key.
Late comment, but she has a brain tumor that caused her to lose hearing in one of her ears. That might explain it.
I have this VHS Tape somewhere in my Garage....LOL
I was a year after ,wow still in love with her voice
Do you mean you were born a year after this?????
I will always love her sound. Still beautiful and that scat 🔥🔥🔥💫
👏👏🙏🙌❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

She was so beautiful back then.
Canta muito 👏👏👏
