This woman is WICKED CRAZY! This song and the woman behind it ROCHELLE will never be replaced. I love you and thank you for taking care of yourself and that voice. If remix this song let me know Im ready to buy NOW!
It is like this lady that makes the hairs stand up on your back, I just dig her voice and her group first choice. She sounds so so good without music; I wish would come to washington dc area I would be in the front row. That ain't no thing, but a love thang for your great talent.....Oh My....Oh MY
I am sure that together with Loleatta Holloway, Rochelle is one of the most sampled voices in Disco/House. She has an unique voice and Rochelle is more beautiful than ever!
you will never know how much your music has impacted my life and musical taste over the past 35 years; it is stunning that in 1:13 you demonstrate why you remain one of the most gifted singers of all time! the tracks never made you; you made the tracks! thank you for a fabulous treasure!
And FINE TOO! Ms Ro, I'll treat you right any and every night! LOL. Glad to see you still doin' it. Met you twice, both times in NYC. Honored both times. God Bless.
In the house music scene there is such a wealth of beautiful rich voices...over and over we hear Thelma Houston, Jean Carne, First Choice, Melba Moore. Where are You?!? Where is Rochelle? Love your voice, I can see dancing to you! I'm going to have to start asking my favorite DJ's, Where is Rochelle?
Rochelle, you are one of the unsung heroes of 20th century soul. Your voice is one of the top ten greatest female R-n-B voices ever. When I think of all the pleasure I've had in my life just from the Armed and Extremely Dangerous Lp alone, my mind boggles. Forget about all the other First Choice albums and Rochelle solo stuff. The joyous, celebratory warmth of your vocalising has made my life happier and more complete. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You're a wonder.
Rochelle Rochelle wow what an amazing thing I have been thinking about you and the girls and where you could be wow thanks for the years of your vocals bringing me to tears hearing your songs at the paradise garage in new york on that system you are a true legend would love to hear you on some up to date tracks we must make it happen DJ PARADISE WOW takes me back
Girl, you are one of THE greatest singers of my generation. The first time I heard' A boy named Junior...I went to pieces, I'm a 53 year old black man and you still reduce me to tears with that song and I know that Al Green must have been peeved with you about ' Love and happiness' because you TOOK that, that's your girl.period.
First Choice is my favorite girl group ... I'm a Philly native, born & raised.. I want to meet you Rochelle, "That's man is Danger, hit me with broken heart"... I even made the only "First Choice" myspace.. how wrong was it not being able to find my three sisters on myspace?
I wish i had a girl who sang like that. I have this track where Ms. Fleming is reinterpreting Milk&Sugar's HIGHER (song is titled "Are You Ready For Me"). It's a stellar tune (well produced remix with outstanding melodic basslines - the strings don't hurt either) and her voice is something out of the skies of a heavenly atmosphere - simply angelic with so much soul. When i play it, i don't know whether to dance or cry. So i do both and it feels tremendously gratifying. *sighs*
Ms Fleming it is an honor to be able to text you. I am from Brooklyn Ny and I am 41 years of age. My earliest rememberances of you and your group was when I was about 6 or 7 years old and my family literally "ran" your record Smarty Pants. Throughout the years I remained a devoted fans of records like "Armed and Dangerous", "Hold Your Horses", "Love Thang", and of course "Doctor Love". You are truly an American treasure.
When you rerecorded "Asunder" that joint set it off in Bklyn in 1983
People Let me share a memory of the most Specacular Show Case Performance at the Paradise Garage in 1980 that First Choice blessed us with. Rochelle do you remember when you sang "Double Cross"! umm, umm, umm, do you remember how the crowd yelled, screamed, stomped and cheered when you and the ladies "PUlLED OUT THE DAGGERS"! when yall started cuttin and stabbin, we were REALLY duckin" now I know you have to be smilin" Yeh,you TOOK New York City by STORM!!!You defined the phrase A VOCAL DIVA!
As a flight attendant I have heard them play your tunes all over the world-You and I both know the minute they play any song of yours in the U.K. they all but drop their funkin kinckers and knock each other down just to get their grove on the dance floor-its funny how your A capella out of the studio is so much more powerful than most of these kids
could ever produce in any studio today. So like ya see,We miss you,We love you and awh shucks..you got somthin for our mind,our body and our soul
However I think most of the kids missed another level of vocal quality that you possess in both "Love and Happiness" & "Runnin Out of Fools" both my favorates I always felt that if GoldMind or Salsoul had gotten it right the 12' inch version of the two tunes would have done very well in sales. from a marketing point of veiw you should redo them,in a 12"format now! I think Tee Scott & Norman would agree,
From judeah1 -Now that I found you I have so many questions I thought I would never be able to ask you,as I mentioned in my previous message. In reference to the Breakaway live concert at Paradice Garage was there a hidden Message to the Golden Pharoh's Head and Egyptian Theme that you and the girls presented. I always thought there was,and it lead me on a life long search(because of my Black Hebrew Roots)By the way the Eygptian Gowns were Shaggin Hot!
Hello Rochelle,I attended your LIVE concert at the Paradise Garage in 1980 when Breakaway was released. The Live show was THE BEST DAM PERFORMANCE I HAVE EVER WITNESSED! It left a profound--and lasting effect on my life AS YOU SAID THE MUSIC SPEAKS FOR IT SELF!Tee Scott used ware THE HELL OUT OF ASUNDER!THANK YOU FOR THE GENUINE LOVE,YOUR LIVE PERFOMANCE AFFORDED ME.YOUR MUSIC KEPT ME OFF THE STREET AND SAFTLY ON THE DANCE FLOOR.I Will ALWAYS LOVE YOU JUDEAH
Rochelle, how are you? Did you know that this song gets played on the radio here in New York at least once a day, everyday for something like that last 13 years straight? !
There is no way I could view this and leave without givin' props to Ms. Rochelle. You sound better and more powerful now than in what was supposed to be your prime, so to speak. Much love, Ms. Rochelle, and happy belated birthday!!!!!
Oh, now I can die and go to heaven. The lead singer of my favorite girl group! NO FEMALE SINGER can sing an R&B song like you. I'm a flight attendant and I would travel anywhere if I knew you were going to perform. Please let us know. Do you have a website or anything? I love you, your biggest fan, Philip
Who knew I would find you here. Yeah, you still got it. I had the pleasure of seeing you at the show in Univ. City a couple of years back. And ran into on the road. I am also friends with Dre from the original group. When can we see you again??? It is amazing. Your music currently plays for all ages. I hear your stuff on the few occasions that I go out, and the neosoul crowds eats it up for dinner. Great stuff!
Go Rochelle. You look good diva!! You know that you and First Choice from the 70's (can we say "The Player")all the way through to today get played a couple of times a week on my stereo and Ipod.
this is xactly why i have issues with newer music... its not that im not young...its just that ive been spoiled. much luv to youtube cause i could listen to the radio for 24/7 and not come close to the dose of talent i got in this 1:12
You are fabulousity!!!!
