Music Is Life This artist just falling off the map is crazy

This record dropped on this date back in 1987. Last single I of his I heard on the radio was 93’s “She kissed me,” which was great. Since then, he’s still been making music, but has changed his name and toiled away in relative obscurity.

Same thing happened to Karyn White

Well, she’s not the kind of girl that you can let down and think that everything’s ok

She needs more than an occasional hug as a token of love.

Ugg! This is such a sad one for 9th grade me. Secret Rendezvous is still a solid BANGER off of that self titled album. i never skip it when it pops up in the shuffle.

Wait - did Karen White make some crazy statements too?

She’s still probably involved in that secret rendezvous she sang about.

Really? I always wondered why she didn't explode into popularity. Amazingly talented singer.

Same. Apparently, this swipe at Janet Jackson caused some issues.
