Why Stacy Lattisaw Left The Music Industry

- #StacyLattisaw was a charming teenager and a child star with the voice of a singer far beyond her years, She was signed to a major label at the age of 12 and enjoyed a top 10 hit a year later. By the time she was thirteen, Stacy was a chart-topping R & B sensation. She seemed to be living a dream, opening for and befriending Michael Jackson, and sharing songs with another teenage talent, Johnny Gill. The strong, yet sweet voice made a big impression on the 1980s music scene with a string of hits that included, “Let Me Be Your Angel,” “Love on a Two-Way Street,” and “Miracles.” But after a decade-long career, Stacy turned her back on the music business and walked away.

Who's listening to Stacy Lattisaw in 2024? ME!! Still love Stacy
Without question she left the industry because of her level of integrity. She stood on.
It had nothing to do with integrity, Her and Janet Jackson are the same age and Mariah is 4 years younger, you've never seen them women come out half dressed I think that's because that's how they were raised but what I believe is that when time goes on and you stop getting them hits you become less relevant and the record labels won't spend money on you and they will drop you fast, I followed her since 1980 I bought her first album that had let me be your angel on it and in time she just started to fade away and there's no shame in it there's a lot of people wish they had that time.
@@tyn833 Of course, both Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey were occasionally "half dressed". I remember being a little surprised to see that, because those girls didn't have to sell themselves like that.
Now that's a woman with self respect!!!
Stacey's voice was so clean, clear, and sweet. She stood on her morals. Good for her. Love and respect to this beautiful lady.
Stacy showed the world she had Class and self-respect!! I like that!!! You go girl!!
Not going to lie , MISS HER. Reminds me of my childhood. I still play her music. OLD SCHOOL IS THE BEST MUSIC. Back then, seems like music was about LOVE. Today's music, some of it ,seems more like LUST to me. MISS YOU STACY
Yes. I have most of her albums. Loved her growing up. She was one of my favorite.
Black excellence Stacy lattisaw....
I learned from a very credible inside source that the industry Giants wanted to really water her down and pass her off as Caucasian because they felt that she would sell more records to a cross over audience but Stacy made it very clear that she's a proud black woman and she's not going to play that game. That's why we all should hold her up because she truly stood up to power. We love you Stacy!
She is mixed race and I believe that source may have told the truth, they did that with Mariah Carey who is also mixed race, she used to sing in Arsenio Hall and such shows at the beginning of her career but Tommy Mottola decided to expand the scope, her background was kept out of interviews and things like that and they would only leave the emotional and fun parts, Mariah would talk about her mother who is white but rarely any mention of her dad, and like that she hit a wider market. Who knows how many more artists had to go through all that, it's a good thing there is no need for that anymore if all they care is sell music.
@@veronicaalmeda8014 i saw Unsung, both her parents are clearly light skin black but she clearly has Caucasian in her bloodline, probably a white grandparent or a great white grand parent. Almost all blacks who's been living in America for generations are technically mixed but we get your point.
@@veronicaalmeda8014…… what do you mean? Which one of her parents are cauasian?
Congratulations Stacy!! Answering the call of God.
Stacy Lattisaw song 'I found love on a two-way street' has left me with beautiful memories.🎤🎼🎵🎶
I heard that in the 90s and always thought that was a late 60s/early 70s song.
@@bentstriderIt _was_ an early '70s song; it was originally performed by The Moments (later Ray, Goodman & Brown) and released in 1970.
Actually Dion Warwick redid it after the Moments in the 70s and it became a hit. Research it.
Also FYI: Ray, Goodman & Brown and The Moments are the same group, they just changed their name in the late 70s early 80s. "Special Lady" was one of my favorite songs by them in the 80s. I love that harmony!
This resonates with the same thing that Katt Williams recently said on Club Shay Shay, as well as what many others have said.
Stacy Lattisaw has such a nice voice ...I remember her songs when I was a little girl ..I'm glad Stacy didn't sell her soul, left the music industry .and chose to have a family,...because the music industry is a tough business not everyone can handle it
Yes!
Good for her, she's using her voice the way it was intended to be used. Praise the LORD!
@C Truth thanks for your opinion
We all know that Mrs. Lattisaw could have easily gotten to the level of Whitney Houston or Maria Carey, had she not stood on her moral compass and that's why we, from the DMV love and respect her so much! She will always be our Princess of Soul & RnB!
She was better than that idiot Whitney Huston.
I supported her decision when I seen her interviews-
You have to be on crack to think she would have been at Whitney Houston's level. No and KNOW she would NOT have. And that's a fucking FACT. Stacy Lattisaw was overweight, cute and charming, but she didn't have the WORLDWIDE APPEAL at ANY point in her career. Whitney Houston's DEBUT album was the BIGGEST SELLING DEBUT ARTIST of ANY act FEMALE, MALE, CARTOON CHARACTER, or GROUP IN history. So what you're saying just is CATEGORICALLY and easily provably incorrect.
@@SnoopCatts I disagree! It's all about the material. and image They could have easily forced her to get surgery a nose job and put her on a diet and put a bunch of wigs and weaves in her hair, like they did both Whitney and Mariah! A good glam squad would have taken her to another level! Also, I saw an interview where she said that they would giver her reject songs. Songs that she loved, she sang the crap out of it. Listen to Miracles, which she loved and remember that's a 16 year old singing like that! Don't tell us that she couldn't rival Whitney singing that song as a 16 year old, let alone an older seasoned voice with the right songs.
What a classy lady. Stay true to yourself Stacey. We will always love and remember what you brought to the music world......❤️
🫡 2 OG. S.L. for standing your ground against the music industry.🤘🏾👌🏾 🚩.
I can relate to what Stacy stood for, so did I. I never finished recording my album because many people in the music industry and even in the Hair industry, sex was expected of me.
NEVER GONNA HAPPEN 😊
I seen her about umpteen years ago in a restaurant -i didn't react, but it was good seeing her in person & she was quiet.
White girl, yellow girl, red girl. I got called those names, too. Seemed strong in the 80s. Why do we see color within each other? Sad.
My girl integrity above all else inlike all the others RESPECT MY LADY
Big respect for this lady!! ❤❤❤
SALUTE 🫡 2U! Stacy
😅 My daughter was driving me home and we were listening to miracles by Stacy and for some reason we had our hands in the air as if we were at church. And i said to my daughter you know if a few words were changed in this song we could actually be singing this to Jesus and she agreed. So she dropped me off and a few minutes later she text me this video here. I was sad to learn that Stacy had to go through those things. I had no idea. But at the same time I felt grateful that we had the opportunity to hear her beautiful voice. I text my daughter back and told her" wow no wonder we love her" she is a child of God., I'm so proud of her for staying true to the Lord and herself. God bless her and her family. I pray that she keep singing beautiful songs like she did before but this time to the Lord..Amen❤ in Jesus name Amen. Thank you Nikki True .for sharing this video❤ God bless you❤
This was very good......I remember when "Let me be your Angel" was getting some airplay on the LA radio stations in '80.
I Love U!!!”Stacey”😘🥰❤️❤️❤️Best decision ever!!🙏🏿
I have maximum respect for Ms. Lattisaw
Very good Stacy..quite impressive and respectable...kudos to you!🎉❤🎉
My sweet mom introduced me to Stacy’s music in the 80’s when I was still a little girl. She’s so awesomely talented & I still listen to her music. She’s such an amazing example for so many. Refusing to sell her soul in an industry known for just that puts her in a class all by herself. The BEST!❤
pretty girl then a beautiful woman now.. love all her music..
thank you stacy for your heart warming music .. ❤❤🎶🎶🎤🎤
Respect your decision Stacy. You have such a fabulous voice but if you were not happy with your life then you had to move on. Proud of your decision to minister in song to women and children. Proudbof your family life too! Just learning about your life although I had heard your hit songs before
LET'S BE CLEAR❗️Winning is a Moral TOO...💨
Thank you Stacey 💕💕💕If the majority of the mainstream artist had you mindset! Image is powerful!
@Debbie Mccoy So true!
What a testimony.🎉
Her voice rivaled Patti Labelle, Chaka Khan, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey. Still have her on rotation!
I saw them trying to show her body off in certain performances. I'm so glad she didnt sell out!!! She knew her worth!!!
Thank you for sharing this powerful and informative video, Stacey you did the right thing, may God continue to bless you and your beautiful family 🙏💐
Stacy was superb back in the day!!! Her voice and music were magnificent! Shame on those who took advantage of her God-given talent!! But I'm glad she chose to do God's work!! At least He won't deceive her like the world did!!! You Go Stacy!!! But your songs were HIGH-POWERED!!!
Good for Her❤❤❤❤❤
No matter what Stacy lattisaw goes on my very very very top list of female R&B soul singer and if you listen to Stacy lattisaw sing let me take you you definitely hear her sing from her heart and soul Stacy lattisaw you are a R&B female soul legend 🤜🏽🎶🤛🏽
She made the best decision of all! She could have been as big and popular as Madonna and P. Diddy (who was even in her "What You Need music video) but her prudent decision not to sell her soul saved her. Plus, look at Madonna and P. Diddy today. It's not looking great for them despite all the money they have in the world. She would have gone down with them if she didn't quit. Much love and respect to her! I also believe she has always made wholesome music.
An amazing talent
Before Janet, Whitney, Mariah, and Beyonce, there was STACEY !!!
Yes 🙌🏾
@@elenaarman-tang7811Janet n Whitney was around Sametime
WOW Nikki,🎵 To think that nothing (NOTHING) has changed, 🤔 to hear Stacy speak on points covering her experiences with the music execs,🎵 the money managers, she mentioned to have excellent support such as Lawyers standing by U.
WOW, some of the very same elements being spoken by TODAY'S young artist. Glad this came across my scrolls to watch, I'm sure it was not by ACCIDENT 🤔 🎵
LoVe STacy's Voice To ThiS DaY. I'm GLad She choSe heRSeLF RaTheR ThaN GiVe ThaT SaTanic inDusTRY HeR SouL. 🤎
I saw her in concert in 1980!,..or 1981!,..at the San Francisco Cow Place!,..with Earth Wind and Fire!,…good show!
This was great, I still have my vinyl of her and Johnny Gill.
Siempre escucho sus canciones. Recuerdos. Saludos desde Chile.
Class Act God Blessed You!!
Even though I love Stacy Lattisaw's music to this day, I support her decision from backing away from the music industry. Who knows what sort of individual she would have turned into today.
She would have a bright red weave, numerous plastic surgeries, a sagging bbl, a stash of Ozempic, blunts and percocets, and a large flask filled with Hennessey. Her voice would sound like she gargled with ground glass and pebbles for the last 30 years.😢
Why are all you commenting about Stacy being an amazing black woman?
No !!! *She is an amazing woman!* Period!!!
Few women of any race could rise to her level of fame and easily walk away from it because of her moral standards.
Can't black women have ANYTHING and receive praise without somebody coming in and p1*sing all over it? Geez, can't we be great without everyone else getting in their feelings? Geez!
Thanks for being honest. Glad you did what makes you happy. That's all that matters.
I’m so happy she’s in a good place in her life… God bless you ❤
amen Amen 🙏🏿
🌴( "?.. I remember
❤🔥// ) her songs
( x ))/\\ every friend
I ever knew back then
had her album in there
home . It's crazy to think
they would do her like that.
Up to now I think of the
nice time my friends would
share with me playing there
favorite records and Stacy
songs was among them .
Fun time we had listening to
them all. Nice to know she
made it work for her .
12:28 : Awww, that baby is so sweet! (Yeah, I know, that picture is from years ago; Kayla is probably a young lady by now.)
I hope and pray she comes out with her complete life story.
I wonder if Stacy would sit down any other children of the entertainment industry to kind of walk through their childhoods together in conversation? That would be interesting. Janet and Tyson are her same age and that would make sense. There are a few "2nd generation" wrestlers that probably have a similar story as far as the parent situation goes.
0:45 Awwww
3:20 - 4:25 Dat's Jacc'd UP
Beautiful ❤❤❤
She is truly beautiful inside and out. She was just too angelic to stay in that filthy business!
God bless you! Much love!
Great video because a blessed Soul of Christ won the battle against 'flesh & the devil". As a father of two beautiful intelligent girls myself, the ultimate parental nightmare (Whitney Houston, David Ruffin, Jimmie Hendrix, etc) is to lose your loved one to self despair. The devil, against ALL of us, will ALWAYS take more than he gives. TH-cam Myles Munroe's "Protect Your Character"...Amen.
Good for you 🎯🎯🎯💯💯💯🙏🏿🙏🏿
It's so sad how we take advantage of each other
she certainly has the right to change her priorities if she wants to but with such an incredible voice and awesome style it's really a shame. She could have been the next Whitney Houston and shared Houston's producers. "Let Me Take You Down" still gives me goosebumps.
She probably did not want to be the next Whitney Houston. Look how Whitney's life ended. Shows that fame does not bring happiness. Stacy seems to be doing just fine. I think she made the best decision for her.
@@carolanncraig3398 with that voice and style she could wipe the floor with Beyonce Adell Lizzo Britney Cia Pink and all the rest. Stacy's voice has personality, she does not sound like 20 other singers.
@@carolanncraig3398 Whitney Houston's life ended because of addiction.
@@carolanncraig3398 I always wonder though what it feels like to have incredible talent and not use it. Whenever I see Grace Slick now I think the same thing though she now seems quite happy too.
She said I’m her book they started giving her Whitney Houston reject songs and wanted her to dress a certain way.
Stacy was blessed to get out of that sick, demonic industry alive and sane😊
AMEN
Love love this video❤😅
Integrity & morals of Godliness saved her! Imagine if more of the industry was of God; so many wouldn’t be where they are now; about to go to court for depravity!
We already know why.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
She knew Sean Combs when he was starting out. Thank God she became a Christian and left the evil industry.
I never ser live Stacy(Attack of name game) Do you Know?
NikkiTrue wish you redo this I mean upgrade your greatness this is music history.
You couldn't hide that thickness anyways😂

Narration is horrible... Stopped after the first couple of minutes!
@musicnerd72 Okay, good. No need to watch something you don’t like. Thanks for your opinion
Is it me or does that picture with Michael Jackson and Stacy Lattisaw just feel overly SEXUAL and EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE??
Such an amazing woman lurks behind that unbelievable voice
