And it’s crazy this has actually happened to tons of other talented vocalists from the 80s. It seems like the record labels had a hard time figuring out how to market powerful singers.

The audience must've been sleeping until 3:20, but this is a great example of the right singer given the wrong material. Someone with her voice should've had a career like Vesta, Anita Baker, Regina Belle or Angela Winbush. The song is a bit dated for 1989, in my opinion.
