Patrice Rushen started off playing synths and electric piano and cuting albums in jazz funk / fusion mode, giving Herbie Hancock and co. a serious run for their money, before switching gears and delivering some beautiful soul albums. Turns out she was an amazing singer, too! This is one from her soul phase. "Message in the Music"... indeed!
