Aww... Her voice was sampled by a few famous DJs BTW!

 

[ECG]

Yeah. Black Box's 'Ride On Time' which hit #1 in the UK, Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch's 'Good Vibrations' (#1 US & #14 UK). There was also Latin Swing's 'Gotta Be #1', Cappella's 'Take Me Away', Fire Island's 'Shout it to The Top', Cevin Fisher's '(You Got Me) Burning Up' & 'I-N-S-I-D-E' by CJ TOBA. I also really liked her 'Dreamin' remix & was lucky enough to see her perform at Paradise Garage back in the day when Larry Levan DJ'd there. He used to do all kinds of mixes with her tunes & made her one of my favorite female vocalists of that time.

Even Benji Candelario and Wayne Rollins sampled her 'Oh you got me'
