Great 80's female solo singers

[tsull1]

Of late I'm hitting YouTube hard for those very good, but sometimes under-appreciated female singers. Getting into Stephanie Mills and Chante Moore [[though she's more 90's), and Karyn White.

Post some of your favorites on this thread. This is particularly good, Stephanie Mills:

Very great in their time; not appreciated enough today, IMO.
