The concept of 4 women singing the all male classic (and having Pamela Williams blow the sax in place of Barry White's deep baritone voice) was all Teena Marie's idea. She deserves credit for this version of the song rather u like her voice on it or not. But in my opinion, her voice was tailot made for it. It's sexy, sulty, and seductive, while Patti's was powerful and commanding. Great version. All of them were xcellent. RIP Teena, u were a musical pioneer! -DOGG
@NPhillydogg67 Everyone did a great job on this. I have both songs on my ipod back to back. TM did an upstanding job. the others were so great. I never noticed until now about the sax part but that was xcellently done. I love this song. I can't tell enough about the truth to it. I just can't say enough other than I love it and it's a true classic. The vocals and the sax awesome awesome awesome.
@psoemetry thanks for recognizing Teena's input. While I also love the original, and used o play it endlessly when it first came out all those years ago, lol, when I'm in the mood to hear it now, I play THIS version the most. I only wish they had gotten another sellar singer to open the song (not that Pat Peterson did bad, its just no one knows who she is), and that they had took the time to do a hot video, even if it was just them in the studio. I love Teena, and play her music daily. RIP LadyT
@tigner1 I noticed you gave ,much derserved, credit to Pattie, Pamela, and Teena, but none to the 3rd lead vocalist (Pat Patterson). Also, Analisa Ripke singing background vocals with Pattie. I only mention it because this is a very well done production by all women.
Love you always Teena Marie...Life you just dont know when ite you time ,the tears are pouring for you my SISTA you music is nurition for my soul!!!! Bless!! Rest in Peace Ms Marie... The Ivory Queen!!
Yeah!!...laying there in a heartshaped romantic bed with lots of pillows and your angel beside you, both looking up to the mirrored ceiling, hhmm hhmm Hhhmmmmmmmm YouSaaaaaahhhh. Heard this tune today by " Pamela Williams,Patti Labelle & Teena Marie-Secret Garden " on MotionFM.com(what a station) listen also to Quincy Jones - The Secret Garden (Stephen Rigmaiden Mix) here on YT.
This is the version that they should have played on the radio. I like this version so much more. This is nothing but greatness, from the legendary singers to the remarkable saxaphonist....
Wow!! I had no idea that this even existed!!!! I remember the guys version from Quincy's big album in the early 90s, but that's it!!!! Thanks so much for posting. I found it a real challenge to find the remake of the KARYN WHITE song "Superwoman" which was remade on Gladys Knight's early 90s album featuring Dionne Warwicke and I forget who else.
@j1455p patti is one of my favorite vocalists... but teena killed this one... patti is huge one this... but teena really did it up... this is my fav version of the song btw... heard it on the car radio when it first came out....but didn't hear the artists name... spent a week trying to find out....
This Pamela Williams is the bomb. I've never heard of her before until a few days ago while watching the cable jazz music station. It's a shame I'm finding out now who she is. Converted Fan!! Freking Awesome!!
I just happened to stumble across this song on another site. WOW!!! When did this come out? Thanks for the post. Do yo'thang, Soul Child, you baaadddd! *tips hat*
A dream come true my two favorite ladies and Pamela blowin the hell outta that sax! I never thought anyone would even think of re-doing the secret garden after the fellas tore it up like that, but the ladies do the damn thing too!
Wow. Thanks for sharing this groove with us. I have never heard this version before. This is out cold!! This goes into the favorite section. And I have never heard of Pamela Williams until now, thank you so much!! I gotta get this song.
I love this version of this song. I would love to Hear Teena and Patti redo the Barbara and Donna Summer classic Enough is Enough especially, especially the slow part with all of the high notes, they would tear that song up. Don't y'all think?
you know on Regina Belle was not a featured vocalist on the version that appeared on Pam's CD. The vocalists were Patti Labelle, Teena Marie and Pat Peterson...this is from Pamela Williams CD 'Saxtress', 1996..good CD also.
