  • Preceded by a brief chat with Donnie Simpson, this is Barbara performing the Michael Bolton-penned ballad "Where Can You Run," which was the fourth and final single from her solo debut album. From a Valentine's Day special on Video Soul. The song was produced by Wayne Lewis of Atlantic Starr. Barbara is a native of Greensboro, North Carolina, and sang lead on many of Atlantic Starr's biggest hits, including "Secret Lovers," "Always," "If Your Heart Isn't in It," and "Silver Shadow."

    I love Barbara's voice. I also learned that she trained classically, IIRC.
    Countess Vaughn re-recorded 'Where Can You Run' but the title was changed to 'Unconditionally' and some of the lyrics were changed. It was on her debut and only record in 1992.

  • @retrorhythms
    @retrorhythms  13 лет назад +3

    @Vincent50 She also did a second album, which was only released in Japan. But I recommend it. It's called 'Seeing for the Very First Time'! And I agree about the magic being somewhat lost after her departure. Although I will say there were some very solid tunes on the 'Love Crazy' album, the overall "group dynamic" was not the same.

I know she's thinking "Danm BET yall need to get the audio in order before I sing....Damn!" This was actually when BET had value hence the messed up audio which became BET's signature at one point...until VIACOM bought them then the audio/production improved...sad sad sad.

    So I've got to lock my heart away
    Then he'll never know
    That I'm here to stay, hey...
    All I know
    Is that he's been untrue to me
    And I want to let him go
    But I know that he loves me deep inside
    And I feel the same, I can't deny, yeah
    So like a fool, I sit here cryin'
    I don't know why I take the pain
    All I know is I love him so
    All I know
    Is whenever he neglects me
    I feel left out in the cold
    He doesn't really know
    Just how much he's hurting me
    I just wish he'd wake up and see, oh...
    And like a fool, I sit here cryin'
    I don't know why I take the pain
    All I know is I love him so

      Benny Medina was best friends with Motown founder Berry Gordy's son Kerry Gordy. They were both in the Motown group Apollo. And, Benny is like a son to Berry Gordy. Rick James didn't have a chance at Warner Brothers probably for that reason alone.
