Talk:Patrice Rushen

Peacock terms, POV and trivia
I added a photo and ended up dredging up a lot of POV "Peacock terminology" from this article. As an encyclopedia, we are to educate and impart knowledge. It's cool that we get to show people how wonderful some of these musicians' music really is, but it must be done with a Neutral Point Of View, otherwise known as NPOV. Promotional wording is only OK when it's something outside crtics have said in reliable references. Also, when there are good quotes, we can't just copy and paste from the text online. It will leave those slanted looking quotation marks, and that, by itself is copyright infringement. Some editors come along and painstakingly remove each one of those quickly pasted offending marks so we may get on with seeing the article flourish. Please try to keep material noteworthy. Finally, the article's list of sampled music from Rushen borders upon being a trivia section, and really needs to be merged into the text more. Thanks for putting in your time- let's get this one in check before it becomes a problem!! --Leahtwosaints (talk) 21:58, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Album: Forget Me Nots (2017)
I just found Forget Me Nots (2017). What is this? Is this a new album of old songs? --Jobu0101 (talk) 13:53, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

Sampled/remixed
Hi, I just want to recommend to use the following terms in "Cultural reference" section:

1) What Geroge Michael did is - IMO - a 'REMIX' of the original song (at the end of his song) - i.e. Lyrics was not changed. 2) Will Smith's version ha no real connection to the song, except the bass line so it would be better co call his version as a song in what he 'SAMPLED' Patrice Rushen's song ('s bass line).

But first: Put George Michael's song to the 1st place because it came out in 1996 and Will Smith's song came out 1 year later.

I'd like to apologize for my english but I hope you all can forgive me because I'm not a native english speaker. :(
