@zeiykz For MC to do Shanice's songs she FIRST needs to have a solid voice. MC's weak voice CANNOT take on Shanice's songs and whatever you are implying it is a none factor because Shanice life is right where she wants it to be! The LAUGH is on you!
I used to listen to this every night before I fell asleep when I was in Electronics School in San Diego CA back in 1988. Time has flown...I was 19 then I will be 43 next month! Wow time flies!

i been trying to find this song for YEARS!!! this song is so..... moving, AND I FOUND IT tonight daaam thank you. I will be putting this in my romantic slow jam complilation:) mission accomplised again
@BOLO2220 I have too. I loved this song back then and still do. I searched and searched and was finally able to find it on here. It wasn't a big hit for her and I'm not sure why because she killed it.
As part of her first musical project, this was NOT a big single for her and that's a tragedy in itself. How can a 14 year old sing a number with this kind of conviction without bringing a tear to your eye? She sang like she had been hurt or even totally overjoyed by love. She RAN this number like WHOA.
haven't heard this song in over 22 years. listening to this song make me wish i would have kept this album. still believe she was only about 13 when she recorded this song.
@coolsocks36 I'm happy that you now discovered it. Coincidentally it's from her debut album back in 87 titled 'Discovery.' There are some other great songs like the Jazzy/soulful ballad 'Just A Game,' and the melancholic, 'Do I Know You.' You can check these out if you haven't already, but at all times just enjoy the vibes. I hope you are looking forward to her new album soon.
@iriear . I have and still listen to Discovery from time to time. It was and still is a fantastic project. All those mentioned, I enjoy them thoroughly.
Oh yes, this one is just fabulous, hard to believe that at the time, that these were the vocals of a teenager, who has grown up to be as beautiful as she sings, one of my favorites from her, 80's R&B at its finest.
I had this casette tape when I was little. I know every song on this album word from word and this was my favorite song. Thanks for posting..haven't heard this in many years!
I remembered when Barry White introduced you on Soul Train. At the time I heard what he heard and wondered if it was golden. Well, now I know. You have a special gift.....keep it up.
I'm also a 70s baby and an 80s child, and I love the 70s, 80s, and 90s music because I grew up on them in the late 70s, 80s and 90s. I feel you on that one. I don't like today's music, and female artists of today can't sing worth shit except Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, Jill Scott, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson. Back in the day, almost EVERY female singer can sing like Shanice, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Me'lisa Morgan, Karyn White, Stephanie Mills, Patti Labelle, Barbra Streisand,etc.
One of my favorite songs...of ALL time. Gorgeous melody, catchy, with a voice of an angel only God could have given. Love this voice! She's up there with Whitney.
im socked that all 4 singles from her album dident chart that well cause both tiffany and debbie gibson were around her age at the time topping the charts its a shame because she is such a good singer espically when she was only 14
Man!I remember this song! I was in the 9th gr.dang..thata long time ago.I used to be trying to sing this, especially when hit thst note at towards the end of the song, lol...ahhh@ the memories!
Shanice was born May 14, 1973 so she was 14yo when the 'Discovery' album was released in '87, but when she actually recorded the album is the question. Record shows that her first hit off the album charted in August '87. This particular song charted in March '88. One can assume that it took Shanice around 2 months to do the album, but we all know albums may release months after it's recorded and single can take weeks to get a final position on chart so it's fair to say she was around 13/14yo.
Well both Mariah and Shanice are set to release albums 2008, they are presently my 2 favourite whistlers also. I am sure that Mariah will deliver on that, but Shanice as before only whistle on 2 or 3 tracks! Come on Shanice your high notes are what people fancy, so you need to use it more. It's not fair to have 13 songs on an album and only whistle on 3 that's like a SIN in my view!
Seetdeh, Whistle or no whistle Shanice is still tha bomb. Maybe mariah whistle a lot to cover her weak chest voice. Shanice is all the way, and I just listened her teavk 'Inside' 2007 and that tells me she doesn't have to whistle to sound good.
I at no time said Shanice has to whistle to sound good, all I've pointed to is that she doesn't whistle as much as Mariah, so please read before you go attacking.
your just lost in this generation..Shanice been around longer an added plus to her talent.
octaves ain't all that, she can give out a meaner blow, and she acts like a lady..an even added bonus. sleaze doesn't sell her album. her pure raw talent needs no added tricks there. Mariah, can sing but she acts like a hoe. in the beginning she was talent, now shes sleazy.
Still think Mariah deserves it more :P Its not just about the vocals, you can't build a career on that alone any more and Mariah is one of the few artists from the 80's and early nineties that has noticed that. Shanice is a great singer but, lets face it, her songs suck at the moment.
I agree with u 2 a point - True Shanice has the voice still, but Mariah has the skill of penning songs that appeal to ur emotions. Well unlike Mariah who was lucky to have control of her writings from the start, Shanice was controlled. Now that she is free let's see if she will for once do an album that really show skills and that will speak to emotions like Mariah. I really thought Shanice last album wud do that, but she missed the Mark again.
I fell in love with this song at first listen. I'm proud to be a musician/composer/songwriter hearing this... Great words and music is what it's all about!
I have her very first album, the one with her in the lether jacket and she's holding her hair.. that was a great album. I still bump it to this day....lol
me to.she never got the props she deserved.shew falls in the catagory with johhny and stacy.she was so young.hell she still is.but now everyone is got beonsitist.this is truth
Oh my God, what a voice...Shanice sounds as if she was gonna tear down the studio - Whoever was loving Shanice then, was doing an awesome job (at fourteen it has to be her mom). Shanice is da best!!!
Now this is a very beautiful woman and a song like this to match.
