Career


The 1979 song "Ring My Bell" was originally written for then twelve-year-old Lattisaw, as a teenybopper song about kids talking on the telephone.[4] When Lattisaw signed with a different label, Anita Ward was asked to sing it instead, and it became Ward's only major hit.[5]

Lattisaw recorded her first album for Cotillion Records at the age of 12 in 1979, under the direction of record producer Van McCoy.[6] However, it was not until she affiliated with Narada Michael Walden, a former drummer with the Mahavishnu Orchestra who was just beginning a career as a producer, that she found larger success.[6] Under Walden's direction, she scored several R&B hit albums between 1981 and 1986.[6] She also opened for the Jacksons' Triumph Tour in 1981.[7]

During the 1980s and early 1990s, Lattisaw had several US R&B hit singles, and a 1980 top 3 hit in the UK with her song "Jump to the Beat". She also scored three moderate hits on the US Hot 100 chart; "Let Me Be Your Angel" (US No. 21), "Love on a Two-Way Street" (US No. 26), and "Miracles" (US No. 40).[7][8] She signed with Motown Records in 1986. She scored her only No. 1 R&B hit with duet partner Johnny Gill, titled "Where Do We Go from Here", in 1989. Since the 1990s, she has exclusively sung gospel music.[1] Her official website stated that she was to work on a gospel CD. In 2010, Lattisaw's music career was chronicled on the TV One docu-series Unsung, in which she also appeared.
