woman. She's Karyn White.
In the years since her last CD was released in 1994 (Make Him Do Right β Warner Brothers), the lovely, soulful vocalist has focused her energy on family, raising and nurturing her daughter Ashley (her daughter with ex-husband, producer/songwriter Terry Lewis of Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis fame). Whiteβs priorities to family are largely responsible for her absence from the music scene. Her daughter Ashley is now a freshman at Howard University but for the last 18 years β Karyn saw to it that Ashley received the love and care of a mother invested in her child β which the nomadic lifestyle of a professional musician could not afford.
Karyn's considerable talents extend well beyond music. Sheβs been successfully honing her skills in recent years as an interior designer, and making moves in real estate. However, she didn't turn her back on music, still paying close attention to the industry. βMusic is in me. You may be temporarily detached from the business side of it β but the music, the melodies, the rhythms β never leave you,β said White.
White's new CD, scheduled for release in 2012, offers a heartfelt Retro Acoustic soulful flare. She delivers every note, every inflection, with the flow of a woman who knows what each nuance means to the song. The CD contains another anthem for the ladies β a female bonding and
empowerment tune with an acoustic grit, called Sista Sista. With this future classic, the ladies will hear that they have their champion back on the scene. Karyn also performs her own version of the Cyndi Lauper classic, True Colors, on this new CD.
βKaryn is fearless, and when we first started talking about her releasing new music in the marketplace, the first thing she said was β 'I don't want to do it like I've done it beforeβI want it to be new, I want to push the envelope on all of the new social media, internet and website platforms, I want to be the edge not on it........I want to be a difference maker' β βthat's why I call Karyn a renaissance woman,β said Jay King, the independent music, multi-media mogul of Club Nouveau fame, who is working with White on her new music. White's project includes embracing multi-media formats, to broaden the scope of Karyn and her ideas, with her βKaryn's Worldβ website (www.karynsworld.me). Plans for the web site include a reality show, and the opportunity for fans to purchase Karyn White branded merchandise.
Lest we forget, the Los Angeles native who has literally been singing her entire life was nominated twice for Grammy Awards (Best Female R&B Vocal Performance), and earned a trio of Soul Train Award nominations, along with a coveted NAACP Image Award for Best New Artist in 1989. She also added to her musical legacy by co-writing, co-producing and co-executive producing the Billboard HOT 100 Pop Chart #1 single, Romantic, in November 1991. Karyn's monster hits include The Way You Love Me, Secret Rendezvous and Love Saw It, a duet with Babyface. She is an international sensation, with Gold and Platinum albums in Japan, the UK and in Canada.
The songwriting prowess of Karyn White includes her work with industry icons Burt Bacharach and Carol Bayer Sager, as well as her co-writing the hit Til You Come Back To Me in 1992, a popular song originally performed by Rachelle Ferrell. Her first credit in the industry, even prior to hitting as a vocalist, was that of co-writing the Stephanie Mills hit Automatic Passion in 1985, along with the late great industry musician Robert Brookins and lyrical mastermind Tony Haynes. The mid-80's saw White working with a veritable Who's Who of musical talent, from Supertramp and O'Bryan to Richard Marx and Ray Parker Jr.
In 1986, Karyn was featured as a vocalist on a Jeff Lorber album called Facts Of Loveβthat began a buzz that led to her inevitable solo success. So, in 1988, her self-titled debut LP established her as a leading female voice in contemporary R&B music. That album was certified Platinum and reached #1 on the Billboard R&B charts. She enjoyed another Gold album in 1991, with Ritual Of Love. A dream come true is just a tough little wish that would not take NO for an answer. This is a truth for meβ¦. I can't wait to see what God has in store for me this time around!!!! 1994βs critically acclaimed Make Him Do Right may have been the last full length recording by Karyn White β but her voice never left. Expect Karyn to conquer music all over again because true artistry is timeless.
Can I Stay With You
Karyn White Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never dreamed I would explore
Makin' love in the positions that you got me doin'
I never thought I'd beg for more
Never thought I'd find a man who can do it again and again
And then even do it like once again
I've never trembled in my life
But now I'm shakin'
And I swear the shakin' feel so nice
Well, I don't know what I'm gonna do
'Cause I don't want to be away from you
You shouldn't have felt so good
Love knows I've never felt so good
It's wonderful
Well, there's only one thing I need to know
Can I stay with you, babe
For the rest of the night
Can I stay with you, babe
For the rest of my life
Can I stay with you, babe
Through the end of all time
Oh, baby, please
Let me stay through the night
Never felt so weak before
Never met a man so sure
Of how and when and where to touch, and just how much
I've never been to ecstasy
But now I'm feelin' it
Over and over and over and over and over and over and over
Whatever I can do for your love
You just ask, consider it down
And I'll do anything
Whatever you want, whenever you need it
I just want to give it all to you
More than you could ever expect me to

Through the end of all time (Ooh)
Oh, baby, please
