So much of what I learned in the industry, especially in the studio? I learned it from Gwen Guthrie. A dear friend. So much so, that when she did the video for RENT? She asked me to be her leading man? We also did a duet called, "Save Your Love For Me." We shot the video New Jersey and she made sure I got TWO Italian hot dogs that day. RIP beautiful lady!❤

@PrimeRibb69 7 ай бұрын

The main reason she wasn't as big of a star as she should have been was because she didn't have the "Look" that the industry wanted for female artists. This was during the heyday of music videos. Vesta Williams had to deal with this issue too. It's a shame because she probably had more talent than a lot of artists who were just basically eye candy for album covers
