This card is an uncorrected error, as I discovered the Jeff Lorber track is actually called "Facts of Love" (not Life). Her song (I Love) "The Way You Love Me" is one I remember liking back in the day.. not to be confused with Paula Abdul's (It's Just) "The Way That You Love Me".. with those respective songs both being the opening track on debut albums from 1988, funny enough.
Karyn White - "The Way You Love Me"
But based on Spotify traffic, her most-remembered song today is (I'm Not Your) "Superwoman" from that debut album. She put out a couple more albums in the early 90s, scoring her highest charting single with 1991's "Romantic", reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in November 1991. I don't really remember that one, but I suppose I was focused on alternative rock by that time.
After a few years out of the game, Karyn White returned with her 4th album in 2012. That same year she began a relationship with fellow R&B artist Al B. Sure!, who coincidentally enough will be coming up shortly in the '91 MusiCards checklist. They're still together according to Wikipedia, and Karyn is still at it, with live performances scheduled for the coming months.
"Romantic" is my favorite song of hers.
ReplyDeleteWhite's name is familiar... but I couldn't name any of her songs before this post. And after listening to all three you shared, I only recognized the first one.
