Dear Roseanne,

That means a lot coming from you. You're one of my fave vocalists. It's been a while

since we were on CMG as labelmates!

[vexedgeneration]

Really enjoyed this! Loved it.

I heard your song "Like Young" today on KJAZZ (SoCal) and loved it. I came to youtube to try to hear it again & track it down but couldn't find it anywhere. I was glad to find this though- Love it! and I plan to share it w/friends,too. How have I missed you before now?? You're wonderful!

Truman Capote wasn't a sissy. He was a flaming faggot. He made Liberace look like John Wayne. Ironically, Truman Capote was not a true man.

[sylvette323]

My favorite from 'Till I Get It Right' album.

Will surely share this one!!!

Great song and singing...

I play Ebony Rain as if it just came out. I need to check out your other work...I guess I have 20 years worth :)

Too bad there is not a radio station in Los Angeles that plays you or Smooth Jazz (or cool Jazz) anymore. I've been playing Pandora (you're one of my stations - I assume this is the real MW ) and Brazilian Music (Sergio Mendes w/Lani Hall, just heard this wonderful voice from Gabriela A.) is wonderful...it's real music like yours.

@ThombaArtz

@winkler49

yeah you realy got some quality sound here. I like this a lot! I would like to use this track for a sample and make hiphop out of it. Normaly I use clasical sample and those guys are all dead now so I never asked premission for that. But in this case you are very well alive (I hope for you) and I would like to ask you premission to take some samples out of this tune...I got realy crazy ideas with this :) plz let me know.
