“I am about to embark on one of the most important projects of my entire career. And that is to re-introduce you to Regina Belle. You and I are well aware of just who this marvelously talented lady is from music endeavors, but have no idea as to what you’re in store for now! Many thanks to Ma and Pa Belle for creating and nurturing what will become, if not already, one of music’s most complete performers. God-given talent, along with dedication, perseverance, luck, education and, most of all, a PASSION for life is what you are about to hear. Yes, a night spent at Rutgers University with Mtume and hearing a young lady sing about eight bars of “Lift Every Voice And Sing” was enough for my ears. Then a conversation with Blue Lovett (of the Manhattans), who at that time was looking for a female singer to accompany the group on a tour, led to an audition and the hiring of Regina. And the rest is what history is made of. Mtume, Blue and myself, along with many others, may have something to do with Regina’s beginning, but make no mistake - 98% of the credit goes to the lady herself, who spent the time studying the masters of music (Billie Holliday, Sarah Vaughn, Johnny Hartman, Donny Hathaway, Bessie Smith, Cannonball Adderly, John Coltrane, Nancy Wilson and others). The person who spent many, many nights in clubs honing her craft was at the same time observing the theory of music classics, obviously with an intense PASSION. “A Whole New World (Aladdin’s Theme)” (with Peabo Bryson from the motion picture Aladdin). It’s now time for you to experience Regina Belle’s PASSION: PASSION is a feeling; PASSION is a necessity of life; and PASSION is “If I Could”; PASSION is “My Man” (Billie Holliday’s classic); “Dream In Color”; “The Deeper I Love.” Now experience Regina Belle’s PASSION. // Vaughn Harper”.

“PSALMS 44:8 // In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name forever. Selah. // To my husband who has changed my life totally and has filled my greatest gaps to infinite joy and great cheer (I love you). To my children Jaylin and Tiy whom I love dearly, although you are very young and do not fully understand all of my (Mommy’s) responsibilities that may take me away from you, Shukran (Arabic for thanks) for loving me anyway. Grow up to be something wonderful and remember Mommy & Dad are always there to help and guide. // To my Mom and Dad, you are truly the greatest part of my foundation. Thanks for believing in me to do the right thing and trusting me to go all the way with it (the music). // Both my grandmother and grandfather, Fred Belle Sr. & Viola, thank you for the constant and unconditional love that you have always given me. I know that through your eyes I am still and will always (only) be Gina. To my other grandmother, Mama Gracie, you are a spirit not known to man. You are surely the mirror of strength that I could only pray to be. // To my brother, nobody could ever be more proud of you (except Dad & Mom). Remember to take charge of your life in every aspect. I’m very happy to be your big sister. Could I borrow some money? // To my sista Toy, no one knows that when we’re together you are really the star. Thanks for always looking out for me. // To my new family, the Battles and the Jacksons, thank you for your continued support. Winter, continue to strive and I’ll be there to help. Aunt Marva you know you’re my girl. To my entire family, some names I may not have mentioned, I love you dearly. // To my pastor Rev. Fred Belle and my church with the Friendly Heart-Friendship Baptist Church, thanks for instilling in me that Jesus is Worthy and He is surely real. // Mervyn Dash (Unka Merv), you said this is the one. Show me so I won’t give up my day gig! Brenda, Miss In-house, what time is your flight? Are your nails done? Did you wash your hair? And for God’s sake make sure you get enough sleep! You two guys are the hottest ticket in management! // Jeff, Pauly & Sully, nobody does it better. Understanding Sound is the essence of your being. Mark Minchello, Glen Pearson, Mike Hogan, Karl McNeill, Willard Dyson, who make up the “Absolute Truth,” please never divorce me. I am truly grateful to you always for your undisputed loyalty. // Chris Walker, I believe you’re trying to do it! Marc Daniels, I always knew you did hair for the CIA. Donyale McRae, I dub you Mr. Transformation. And to Billy Belle, Battle & Lovett, your triple alias always did and always will have a place in my heart. You too, Craig Starks. // Ruth carson, thank God for you! BET let’s do it again. To Black radio & retail, who loves ya baby? Thanks for staying with me on the last album, don’t leave me now. Oscar Cohen, Jody Wenig & the ABC family, I don’t ever wanna leave you guys and you say you love me, so can I have two million dollars in prove-it-to-me money? // Shirley Murdock, you’ve always made me come to reason with whomever or whatever I was toiling with. Don’t you ever have a problem? Miki Howard, Donna Allen, hang in there girls. Nick Martinelli, I ate the cheese bitch and what a wonderful project it turned out to be. Narada, it’s all about “One Love.” James Carmichael, thanks for the aid in bringing out “My Man.” // To all of the musicians & vocal musicians on this album, what can I say, I only work with the best. To my “Sangers,” the Blackgrounds, Cha-Cha-Sweet Charlene, Marvelous Marvel, P for Paula and Brent the Wonder, thanks for making me look so good. // And also thanks to Donnie Ienner, Tommy Mottola, Jay Landers (my favorite and best fighting partner. We got a lot done!), David Kahne, Randy Jackson, Sandra Trim-DaCosta, Eddie Pugh (not too early please!), Jerry Lembo, Jerry Blair, Ken Wilson (my boy), Peabo Bryson, LeBaron Taylor, Renee Johnson and all my SONY family, Evette Clarke, Mike Ran, Marc Dash (this tea is not hot!), Gil Williams (the protector of my body), Steve and Larry Kauffman, Kevin Long, Josephine DiDonato, Ruby Ruby Baby, You the One Vaughn Harper, Joe McEwen, Gail Peck, Shelley Lucas, Judy Berger (thanks for watching my back), Al B. Sure!, Stevie Wonder (thanks for the DAT!), Don Cornelius, Anita Baker, John P. Kee (thanks for a special inspiration), Arsenio Hall, Jay Leno, Aretha Franklin, Al Haymon (let’s go to work!), Dia and Gee Snowden, Cynthia Lewis, Tina and Maureen and all at Oggis’ Nails, Arlana Arrington, Stephanie Greaves (my island angel, bless you) and you too, Dr. Freeman, I’m counting on you to keep me healthy. // Special thanks to Charles Gray And The Nyere Institute. // To the late Mr. and Mrs. Charles Holloway, your memory will forever live within my heart. God bless you both. // Anybody I may have forgotten, charge it to my head and not my heart. // Thanks, // Regina Belle”.

“The services of Matthew Vaughan were utilized when things of a programmable nature were needed, my gratitude to him.”.

“The phrases “Whoever You Are Come Forth” and “These Are The Days That Must Happen To You” that start off “Succumb To Me,” taken from Walt Whitman’s “Song Of Myself. // The phrase in “Are You Happy?” “…When in doubt just live the questions and some day you will grow into the answer.” inspired by Rainer Maria Rilke’s “Letters To A Young Poet.””.

“Special and heartfelt thanks to Bruce Springsteen and Prince for your well-timed words and/or acts of support and encouragement, it was greatly appreciated, particularly as I look up to you both a great deal, name dropping be damned.”.

“Thank yous // Michael Lippman and all at Lippman Entertainment // Nancy Lippman // Alexandra Villa // Paul Russell, Andy Stephens, Ollie Weait and all at Sony, UK. // Don Ienner, Tommy Mottola, Michele Anthony and all at Sony/Columbia, US. // Peter Rycart and Sally Perryman/EMI/Virgin, UK // Gail Colson // Tony Dimitriades, Alex Scott, Eric Barrett and all at East End Management. // Susan Bonitto // Lester Knispel and all at Boulevard Management // Steve Perry // David Wild // Carole Childs // Barry Tyerman // Tony Russell // Mervyn Brady and The Academy // Mary Vango and Seraphina D’Arby!!! // Claire Stansfield!!! // Mark “Spike” Stent // Craig Porteils // Matt Vaughan // Dr. Jeff Roshford // The Reverend Bishop James and Frances Darby and the Darby posse (inhabiting various territorial aspects of the State of Florida) // Grandma Evans // Mrs. Mildred Clark, Mr. David Martin, Mr. Stan Whitted for the early musical encouragement // Rob and Tanya Prinz // Mitch and Rick and all at CAA // Thanks to Marilyn Laverty and all my friends at Shore Fire // Steve Lewis // Lenny, Dennis, Karen and all at Hits // Greg Edward // Ann Marie McKay // Julie Carter // Kitty Brazelton // Greg Phillinganes // Sean Oliver // And finally a special thanks to Des’ree for making ‘Delicate’ more so // If I’ve omitted anyone deserving of a thank you, please forgive me for it was not intentional.”.

“This collection of songs is lovingly dedicated to my uncle Melvin Howard 1945-1990, and Miles Davis”.

“Current Heroes Corner // 4 gentlemen I bet you didn’t know were black (and it’s not like you’d have been taught in school): Socrates, Homer, Pushkin and Aesop. // G.I. Gurdjieff // Walt Whitman // Ralph Waldo Emerson // James Baldwin // Honoré de Balzac // Rainer Maria Rilke // Edna St. Vincent Millay // Maya Angelou”.

“and to anyone who seeks to comport themselves with grace, dignity and a respect for themselves and for the differences of others, and to anyone who respects knowledge and understanding. For in the long run knowledge and self-sufficiency are greater than any weapons known to man. // I am proud to be a black man, I am proud as well of my Indian and Spanish blood. I am proud and knowledgeable about my culture and I am also proud of yours, and I seek to glean from your culture what it can teach me, because what is truly great and beautiful in any culture belongs to us all. I have learned or am learning the truth about the greatness of your culture’s contribution to the world and can only hope that you can one day learn and accept the truth about my culture’s contribution to the history of mankind. // Call me a romantic naïve fool but I believe that the depths of our respective cultures should provide us with the security to be who we are and yet not be intimidated or intolerant concerning others’ practises and persuasions. I still hold hope in the brotherhood of man. // Eat your meal first at home, then bring your apple and I’ll bring my pear and we will feast under the light of a merciful sun. I leave you with two phrases from one of America’s greatest prophets, Walt Whitman - “This is the meal equally set” and “Whoever you are come forth.” // …and never forget JesusAllahKrishnaBuddha loves you and it’s just as important to love yourself. // Love, peace and tolerance TTD ‘93”.

“After Touring for a full year behind the highly acclaimed album “Falling In Between” and subsequently inspiring hundreds of thousands of devoted fans, TOTO have filmed a spectacular new live show at the atmospheric Le Zenith in Paris. Seventeen years after their first live video was released, TOTO have returned once again to this legendary concert venue to perform in front of another enthusiastic audience and capture and extraordinary performance on DVD. Enter the live action and become a part of nearly two hours of spellbinding music and showmanship that left every live concert-goer in awe. // Joining the line-up is renowned bassist and long time friend Lee Sklar (Phil Collins, James Taylor) who teams up with Steve Lukather (guitars & vocals), Simon Phillips (drums), Bobby Kimball (vocals), Greg Phillinganes (keyboards & vocals) and Tony Spinner (guitars & vocals) for the current tour. Witness the stunning chemistry between these exceptional musicians who, after just some weeks together on the road, eased into a sound both tight and inspired. // Four years after the highly acclaimed “Live In Amsterdam” became a benchmark in concert recordings, “Falling In Between Live” transcends yet another boundary. Recorded with state-of-the-art technology and directed by the award winning Blue Leach (Depeche Mode, REM) who has toured with Toto extensively and is instinctively in tune with their music, this full concert DVD delivers brilliant sound and picture quality that brings you up close and personal to experience TOTO’s magical live performance. Get ready for an overwhelming feast for eyes and ears and watch the concert like you’re in the front row… from your own living room! // Accompany TOTO on this mind blowing voyage, which spans the entire spectrum of their illustrious career, with a diversity of musical styles second-to-none. Encounter the new and energetic tunes from “Falling In Between” - including a powerful rendition of “Bottom Of Your Soul” that will send shivers down your spine - as well as exciting, fresh versions of unforgettable classics like “Rosanna” - clad in a groovy jazz intro - “Hold The Line” and “Africa” - with a now hauntingly ingenious ending. Rediscover those rare fan favourites, some of which have not been played live in over 20 years - gems like “Isolation” or compelling songs from “Tambu” and “Kingdom Of Desire” - as they are given new energy, interpreted years later with the same skill, and an even more accomplished sound that never ceases to astonish. // As always with TOTO, expect impromptu solos showcasing stellar talent and flawless interplay, the result of years of camaraderie and a shared love of musical adventure which wows the audience with new chops and chords, transforming each concert into an inimitable event. // “Master Of Ceremony” Steve Lukather leads the band once again, never failing to deliver laugh after laugh with his crazy sense of humour and energetic interaction with the audience. // Experience the live whirlwind that is TOTO, transcending all musical boundaries, as they hypnotise the audience and take all present on an unforgettable musical journey through space and time from which you wish you’d never have to return. // Embark once again with TOTO as they continue to set new standards in live music with “Falling In Between Live.””

“Toto rock harder than ever before in this stunning live performance filmed in front of a wildly enthusiastic sell out crowd at Le Zenith in Paris on the Falling In Between tour. The show combines rarely heard tracks, album favourites, great solos and classic hits including “Hold The Line”, “Rosanna”, “Africa”, “I’ll Supply The Love” and many more.”.

Johnny Mathis & Deniece Williams

Johnny Mathis & Deniece Williams - That’s What Friends Are For
Columbia JC 35435 (1978) - US LP
Columbia Legacy CK 85655 (2003) - US CD - Reissue with 4 bonus tracks

Side One

1 - You’re All I Need To Get By
2 - Until You Come Back To Me (That’s What I’m Gonna Do)
3 - You’re A Special Part Of My Life
4 - Ready Or Not
5 - Me For You, You For Me

Side Two

6 - Heaven Must Have Sent You
7 - Just The Way You Are
8 - That’s What Friends Are For
9 - I Just Can’t Get Over You
10 - Touching Me With Love

CD reissue bonus tracks

11 - Emotion - Also in the Johnny Mathis album “You Light Up My Life”
12 - Too Much, Too Little, Too Late - Also in the Johnny Mathis Album “You Light Up My Life”
13 - Love Won’t Let Me Wait - From the Johnny Mathis album “A Special Part Of Me”
14 - Without Us - Previously Unreleased

Notes: 1) Album does not come with track-by-track musician credits. 2) Album was reissued by Columbia Legacy in 2003 with 4 bonus tracks: 11, 12 are singles which were also included in the Johnny Mathis 1978 solo album “You Light Up My Life” on Columbia 35259; track 13 is a song taken from the Johnny Mathis 1984 album “A Special Part Of Me”; track 14 is a previously unreleased track that was the theme song of the NBC-TV series “Family Ties”. 3) Columbia Legacy CD reissue comes with a differently cropped picture on rear inlay plus four more pictures of Mathis and Williams included in inner artwork, three of which in b&w and one in color. 4) Above picture is of original US LP while following credits were taken both from original LP and from CD reissue. 5) Bizarrely enough, the 2003 reissue on Columbia Legacy provides identification numbers for mixes, recording dates, chart positions and catalog numbers for singles, but has removed the musician credits which were included, albeit not in track-by-track fashion, on the original LP release. 6) 2003 reissue does not mention Glen Spreen as arranger and conductor for track 8, attributing arrangement and conduction to Gene Page instead. 7) According to the liner notes in the 1996 Deniece Williams anthology “Gonna Take A Miracle” on Columbia Legacy CK 64839 (see picture below), it can be inferred that Lee is the bass player on “Too Much, Too Little, Too Late”. No credits to that effect could however be found on the Mathis LP “You Light Up My Life”. 8) Title song is a cover of a 1976 Deniece Williams single and has nothing to do neither with the Paul Williams nor with the Bacharach/Bayer Sager songs of the same title. 9) The EU 1989 CD reissue of this album on CBS Collector’s Choice 902124 2 has same track order and content of original LP but lists the cover of the Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell song “Heaven Must Have Sent You” as “Your Precious Love”. Whether this is true also of other re-releases is unbeknownst to me. 10) The brief biographical passage which is quoted at the bottom of this entry is an excerpt of the liner notes by journalist Ellis Widner that are coming with the CD reissue, as they are printed on the outer back inlay of the CD package. Please see original booklet for the complete notes.

“In 1977. Mathis took another step that brought him squarely into the mainstream of American pop and soul music - he was teamed with the R&B singer Deniece Williams, a former member of Stevie Wonder’s Wonderlove. For Mathis, it was a bold step. He was a traditional singer, though he covered songs by modern writers. When he recorded this album with Williams, it would be the most diversified, contemporary album of his career.”.
