Tailor-made for Men in Black...

Patrice Rushen is an American singer-songwriter who will stay mainly in the musical history of the 80s for her mega hit "Forget me nots".

An enormous track, released in 1982, and which will undoubtedly remain as one of the biggest Dance hits of the decade.

So much so that the title will be taken up by Will Smith in the now cult film Men in Black and George Michael in his title Fastlove.

She will produce more quality singles that it would have been a shame to ignore.

To discover or rediscover.

1982 ... then comes THIS title. An amazing Dance title that will undoubtedly remain as one of the most striking of this year and of the decade itself. A title which sets fire to all the Dancefloor on the planet and brings One Shot the singer into the musical legend of the 80s. MAS-TER-FUL !

1987 ... she will align no less than 3 hits of big caliber in this year 1987. This one will be the least prestigious but a hit remains a hit, whether big or small !

1987 ... the last notorious hit. Quality is always the order of the day, but the great inspiration that made all the difference on "Forget me nots" is now gone ...
