Mary: One Night With You

[rod_rick]

A couple of notes:

-The guy doesn't look that young MaryB. Lol

-Gosh, was this lady gorgeous or what?

-She sounds great.

-On it's own the song is good. I think it would have been far better in someone else's hands, writing, arranging and production wise.

-The song sounds dated by 1992 standards, IMO. Had she released this in 1986/87 it may have stood a chance. At this point it was nothing more than a good album track, the video a good choice for Midnight Love on BET.

-Mary had the goods. She needed the right parts to make the goods work.

The recording sounds a bit dated but when Mary performed it live during her concerts, One Night With You didn't sound dated at all during that time period. I saw Mary in Vegas as the headliner of a girl group show with the Fake Marvelettes [[who she did not acknowledge) Doris Kenner Shirelles and the Dixie Cups. Back to the song, Mary sang the HELL out of that song. In fact Mary was on fire vocally for the entire show. Her rendition of Tears In Heaven that she dedicated to her late son Rafi was flawless. I agree when you say Mary had the goods but didn't have the proper direction to propel her solo career.
