I think she did get a little caught up in trying to do too much, and completely lost sight of her self artistically. Red hot rhythm and blues is proof of that: what on earth was that supposed to be? I think that’s her worst album ever…… Even worse than I love you, even though I’ve never played I love you all the way through, I wasn’t expecting anything ...... but an album titled red heart rhythm and blues I really look forward to you until I heard it… I don’t know what it was… But if it wasn’t for summertime, I might’ve taken it back to the used record store for a dollar. I’m sorry that we got so little listenable product after the chic album, But I’m happy that she’s alive and well and has all the money she could ever want and doesn’t have to do anything she doesn’t want and if that means having to separate through some god awful music along the way it’s OK. I do think if you take all the RCA your albums and mix them up and let the cream rises to the top you have enough for one decent album.
