by Stephen Thomas ErlewineWhen she was a teenager in the early 80s, urban soul singer Stacy Lattisaw had a string of Top 40 R&B hits, with three songs — Let Me Be Your Angel, Love on a Two Way Street, Miracles — crossing over to the pop mainstream. Lattisaw recorded her first album for Cotillion Records at the age of 12 in 1979, under the direction of producer Van McCoy. However it wasnt until she hooked up with Narada Michael Walden, a former drummer with the Mahavishnu Orchestra who was just beginning a career as a producer, that she became a star. Under Waldens direction, she had five hit albums between 1981 and 1986. She continued recording into the late 80s, signing to Motown in 1986, but her audience slowly disappeared. By the early 90s, she decided to retire from a music career and concentrate on raising her family.
