Patrice Rushen "Forget Me Nots" reference in the media.

I saw this in a newspaper blog. Thought somebody might be interested in seeing it and or making a comment about it.

Patrice Rushen's 'Forget Me Nots' is a soul classic for countless reasons. But chief among them is that it has one of the greatest bass riffs in the history of pop music. Freddie Washington's pop and snap line is right in the front of the mix, serving as much as the lead instrument as the song's unforgettable vocal line.

All I can say is: Ditto, 'nuff said.

To this day, still believe Alicia Keys patterned her early career on Patrice's tickling of the ivories.
