Background notes
Archive material and source history
Brenda K. Starr came up in Philadelphia, singing in churches and taking cues from soul voices like Aretha Franklin and Chaka Khan.
A year later, her second album brought 'Love Me Like the First Time,' a song that became a Top 10 hit and the track most people remember her by. The late '80s were her commercial peak, though she kept recording afterward.
She had a public struggle with depression and substance abuse in the early 1990s, along with a lawsuit over her management that paused her work for a while. She got help and returned to making music, but never quite matched that earlier chart success.
