Bleep

In case you’re the one person who doesn’t know, the name of Patrice Rushen is synonymous with 1980s soul and R&B, a bona fide icon of music beloved for her hit-making powers — at a time of overwhelmingly male presence in the industry — and one of the greatest voices in pop. Together with co-composer/bassist Freddie Washington, Rushen gave the world chart-blazing smashes like ‘You Remind Me’, ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ and the unbeatable ‘Forget Me Nots’, all of which are featured here on this first major collection from her initial rise to stardom.
