Latasha Spencer (Jordan) was born in Harlem, NY, in 1973
and grew up with gospel music with her aunt having sung with Sam Cooke and
grandmother with James Cleveland.
At the age of ten she was consistently winning Amateur Night shows at the
legendary Apollo Theatre, so many (nine in total) that in fact she was
told that she was no longer able to compete.
She was playing clubs and appearing on TV shows from the age of eleven.
However, she went back to her gospel roots but is now embarking on a new
era and has reunited with her first producer Herb Middleton for a new
single "Pressing On" which will be available from Herb Middleton Music website on 28 Nov '22.
UPDATE: Thanks to Solar Radio's Richard Marzetti who contacted me to say
that this is in fact a cover of a 1987 self-titled album track by
Vanessa Bell Armstrong
(I even have the album myself but never connected the dots). Unfortunately
Discogs doesn't list credits but digging out my copy the song was written by
Jonathan Butler and Jolyon Skinner and there are credits for Glenn Jones and
Genobia Jeter (so presumably they may have featured on backing vocals) and also for The Winans (who were involved in production and three of the
songs were written by Marvin Winans). To conclude the 'anorak' section the
song was produced by Timmy Allen who was with BB&Q Band, Change and
Atlantic Starr.
