Career

When she was 11 years old, singer/songwriter Frederick Knight attempted to sign Lattisaw to his production company, writing the song \"Ring My Bell\" for her as a teenybopper song about kids talking on the telephone. When Lattisaw signed with a different label, Anita Ward was asked to sing it instead (with some rewriting), and it became Ward's hit.\n

Lattisaw recorded her first album for Cotillion Records at the age of 12 in 1979, under the direction of record producer Van McCoy. However, it was not until she became 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. Under Walden's direction, she released several R&B hit albums between 1981 and 1986.\n

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 had three moderate hits on the US Hot 100 chart; \"Let Me Be Your Angel\" (No. 21), \"Love on a Two-Way Street\" (No. 26), and \"Miracles\" (No. 40). She signed with Motown 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. She retired from pop music in 1992 to concentrate on being a mother in her family, although she performed gospel music in the years since. Lattisaw's last recorded appearance in secular music was singing background vocals on the 1994 Tanya Blount single \"Through the Rain\". In 2010, her music career was chronicled on the TV One docu-series Unsung, in which she also appeared.\n

In 1981, she was the opening act on the Jacksons's Triumph Tour.\n
