    When I Found You was sampled in the Pink Siifu & Fly Anakin - Tha Divide (feat. ZelooperZ, MAVI & Koncept Jack$on) song. Just so you know...

        Although I am not a big funk/soul fan, I have turned my attention to Patrice Rushen when hearing some of her Elektra albums. This specific album turned to be my favorite. There is very good funky dimension on this album (check out tracks "Music Of The Earth" and "Hang It Up"), and there is even better soul dimension. Those soul tracks are very enjoyable as Patrice delivers her emotions in such a deep, truthful and tender way (e.g. "When I Found You", "Wishful Thinking").
