Hot Slut Of the Day!
“Forget Me Nots” and “Feels So Real (Won’t Let Go)” play on my iTunes at least a couple of times a week and every time one of those songs hits my ears, I think to myself, “Has the smooth goddess Patrice Rushen ever been Hot Slut of the Day?” My iTunes played “Forget Me Nots” yesterday and I finally used my lazy ass fingers to research this important question and I got my answer: She hasn’t! I’m righting that wrong today.
Patrice Rushen still makes jazz albums today and when she’s not performing at jazz festivals, she teaches music at the Berklee School of Music in Boston and at USC’s Thornton School of Music. Before Patrice was schooling the children on how to fill the ears of the people with liquid velvet, she was pouring liquid velvet into the ears of the people with “Forget Me Nots.” “Forget Me Nots” was Patrice’s only huge hit. Patrice co-wrote, produced, sang and played some of the instruments on “Forget Me Nots.” Wikipedia says that record executives originally told her ass not to bother with it because it had “flop” written all over it. Patrice released it anyway and it went to #23 on the Top 40 chart. It was in “Big” and has been sampled a million times.
Doesn’t that song make you want to put on a silky green pantsuit and a sequined tube top and sway by yourself in the middle of a weird ass looking club next to your ex-piece and his current piece until he drops her for you? I don’t even know why Patrice gets back with his skeezy ass when it’s obvious that he’s playing both. She should’ve gotten friendly with the mysteriously hot bitch in red at 2:34 mark, and together they’ve should’ve hit up another club to pick up new dudes. She made him remember, now her ass needs to forget.
