Haven't You Heard

Growing up this song was one of my favorite songs to roller skate to (you remember the roller skating rinks, right?). Whenever I hear it gets me smiling and bopping my head because this song is groovy and infectious. It's by the amazingly talented Patrice Rushen and the song is Haven't You Heard off of here 1979 album Pizzazz.

Haven't You Heard is more an instrumental track because it's so heavy on the music and light on the lyrics. It allows Patrice to show off her amazing piano and keyboard skills oh and by the way she also shows off her producing skills as well. If there was EVER a female version of Prince, Patrice Rushen was it. There was nothing she couldn't do in the studio and that's proven on this song. Percussion, lead vocals, piano, keyboards...all her. The only thing she didn't do was play the drums and guitar. 

This song is a light, breezy, fun kind of song that may be best enjoyed whilst behind the wheel of your car...or on roller skates if you still have yours. Enjoy!
