    Great read; thanks for posting. Ms. Fleming was quite poised for a high-schooler, wasn't she? I regret I devalued FC as "wannabees" for too long and have been steadily getting back into their music; really good quality and excellently sung.

    First Choice had a very unique sound, they were the Queens of the Salsoul sound. Interesting that the women were barely 18 when Armed and Extremely Dangerous came out! Rochelle's "OH YEAH!" vocal from Let No Man Put Asunder has been sampled so many times that she's a clear example of a vocalist who needs to be a millionaire just based off the samples alone even if she wasn't the writer!

    EDIT: Just read below that she's starting to get residuals from it so that's good.

    Rochelle Fleming, unique and special talent. I met her before in Philly, my best buddy from college is her dentist! LOL! Very nice lady that can sing her face off!

    Midnightman, did you know that at least once a week on NYC's major Urban radio station, WBLS , they play Rochelle with First Choice's "It's A Love Thang [[Treat Me Right") and have done so every week for the last 20 years!

    Joyce Jones, the third original member of the trio "First Choice" had a somewhat crude video of herself up on Youtube just a few years ago reminding viewers who she was and the group "First Choice. if I can find it again, I will post it here.

    I actually didn't. Lol it took me years to realize that Chubb Rock sampled that song...once I heard the original, I was like "WAIT Chubb sampled that!" Lmao
