She recorded her first album at the age of twelve, and has scored 22 R&B chart hits with several songs— "Let Me Be Your Angel", "Jump to the Beat", "Love on a Two-Way Street", and "Miracles"—crossing over to the Pop mainstream. Her first album, produced, arranged, and conducted by Van McCoy, featured the highly-orchestrated disco tune When You're Young And In Love.
In 1980, she went to #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart with "Dynamite!" / "Jump To the Beat." However it was not until she affiliated with Narada Michael Walden, a former drummer with the Mahavishnu Orchestra who was just beginning a career as a producer, that she became a star. Under Walden's direction, she had five hit albums between 1981 and 1986. She also opened for the Jacksons Triumph Tour in 1981. From Lattisaw's 1982 album "Sneakin' Out", Mariah Carey used a sample of the song "Attack Of The Name Game" (R&B #14) for her 1999 number 1 hit "Heartbreaker". Her other big Dance chart hits include "Nail It To the Wall" (#2 in 1986) and "Jump Into My Life" (#3 in 1987). Stacy also scored hits with her childhood friend, the singer, Johnny Gill.
Lattisaw continued recording into the late 1980s, signing to Motown in 1986. She scored her only #1 R&B hit with frequent duet partner Johnny Gill entitled "Where Do We Go from Here" in 1989. While the success was great, she grew increasingly disenchanted with the record industry. By the early 1990s, she decided to retire from the music industry and concentrate on raising her family. In addition, her official website states that she is now working on a gospel CD. In 2010, Lattisaw's music career was chronicled on the TV One (US TV network) docu-series "Unsung (TV series)", in which she also appeared.
Miracles
Stacy Lattisaw Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The moment I became inspired
And we've created something special here
A love to take us through the years
Our hearts are in the right place
Beyond the shadow of a doubt
Some kind of magic taken over me
We can make miracles together
We're supernatural tonight
A real life fantasy
The first time I saw you I knew
I'd found a miracle in you
(Yo are a perfect reason)
An everlasting sun that shines
We are reborn again
Look what we've begun
Two worlds have now become as one
We can make miracles together
We're supernatural tonight
A real life fantasy
The first time I saw you I knew
I'd found a miracle in you
The lyrics of Stacy Lattisaw's song "Miracles" express the depth of love and connection between two people who have found something truly special in one another. The first verse says, "You are my best idea / The moment I became inspired / And we've created something special here / A love to take us through the years." The singer sees her partner as the inspiration for something truly great, and together they have built a love that will last a lifetime. The second verse goes on to say, "Our hearts are in the right place / Beyond the shadow of a doubt / Some kind of magic taken over me / I feel this wave of ecstasy baby." The singer feels a deep certainty about the strength of their love, and this feeling is accompanied by an almost magical sense of excitement and elation.
In the chorus, the singer sings, "We can make miracles together / We're supernatural tonight / A real life fantasy / The first time I saw you I knew / I'd found a miracle in you." She sees their love as something that is truly special and almost magical, capable of creating miracles and fulfilling their wildest dreams. She also expresses a sense of wonder and amazement at having found someone who is a miracle to her.
Overall, the song is a celebration of the power of love to transform people's lives and create something truly great.

To this date - she has one of the best perfect pitch voices of all time... As a child, she is still the only voice that could rival young Micheal Jackson's angelic, captivating, powerful and soulful vocal prowess .. She never got due credit by industry standards but the public that love real soul singers will always hold her and her gift of song in high honor, respect and regards! #greatness

Wrong!!!! Minnie Ripperton beats everyone!!!

@@katierhodes2151 I clearly stated that she has ONE of the best perfect pitch voices of all time, which clearly denotes that I am aware of others who are just as capable - this is not 'wrong' or 'right' for that matter -- it's just an opinion.
