I didn't know Natalie Cole and Peabo Bryson covered that song. I know the original and Phyllis Hyman's version, but it's the first time I've heard this one. I dig it.

And of course you can create another thread for 70's songs, Peggy.

Thanks for the link, Peggy! We lost a great one, didn't we? I heard Angela Bofill's voice in the background and it made me think of this classic

Re: Post your old school song for today, Pt. 2


Thanks for the link, Peggy! We lost a great one, didn't we?


Most definitely. Ms. Hyman is truly an example of unsung. So talented. So versatile. So underappreciated, IMHO.

"Remember Who You Are" by Norman Connors featuring Phyllis Hyman, 1992



(Angie Bofill is another favorite. Like Phyllis, so great in concert!)
