Other than Al B Sure, who else could've featured on Quincy Jones' song "Secret Garden"?

[Dr. Narcisse]

Al b sure had hit singles and an album that was popular a year before Q dropped Back On the Block which features Secret Garden

Even tho Al B Sure isn’t a great singer

Yea he was more in for popularity than skill. But again who was a solo singer around his age that also had a hit during that time?

Lol Christopher Williams maybe

 

[Travellin' Man]

Lol Christopher Williams maybe

There we go, yeah lol

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Lol Christopher Williams maybe

There we go, yeah lol

Lol yea. If the choices are between them ts probably better to go with tha artist who had the bigger hit.

Shame cause if Quincy waited till 90/91 you got Aaron Hall, Gerald, etc

 

[Travellin' Man]

Lol yea. I just if the choices are between them ts probably better to go with tha artist who had the bigger hit.

Yeah it just goes to show there were quite a few who could’ve been on there

 

[theflyest]

He had the biggest hit recently and Quincy wanted someone young on the track. Thats what makes it tough to find someone better for what he was going for.

I get it, but I would had El sing that verse as well. He would have killed that.

I liked some of Al’s shyt, but that ain’t his lane. Let that nygga do some catchy shyt.

El, Ingram, and White is all you needed.

 

[patscorpio]

Back then?

Freddie Jackson
Tevin Campbell
Kenny Lattimore
Brian McKnight

Tevin was like13-14

 

[King Sun]

Back then?

Freddie Jackson
Tevin Campbell
Kenny Lattimore
Brian McKnight

Tevin was still a kid I think but everyone else yeah but Al B might not be the best singer but he added something to this song especially for the era.

 

[DontEemTry]

For that time period the answer had to be Howard Hewett. If they wanted a female voice, throw Anita Baker on there and it's a fukking warp.

 

[Dynamite James]

Michael Jackson

Now that I think about it what would have be the quartet for a female Secret Garden.

Again they'd have to match the same profiles though.

Quincy chose someone really young/New Jack Swing in Al B Sure, Old School R&B with Barry White, El was a bit more pop and Ingram was very much 80s R&B.

@N*gga Please Karyn White, Patti Labelle, Jody Watley and Anita Baker?

I wanna say Whitney but (again thnking 89/90) was she too big for that at the time.

I wanna say Whitney over Karyn White, but not sure (again thnking 89/90) but was she too big for that at the time.
