"The Way You Love Me," Karyn White (10/29/88)
You say you'd like to meet a new star? How about a woman with model-quality looks who came up through the biz ranks as a session singer and touring backing vocalist (for the snoozy one-time-only chart-topper O'Bryan), had a creamy, lovely voice with just the right touch of sass, and eventually married superproducer Terry Lewis? The last is slightly ironic, since her big, initial smashes were from the L.A. and Babyface hit factory; White's self-titled debut immediately spit out a trio of #1s, of which this was the first. It's uptempo-cute with just enough production touches - and her fine voice and delivery (that's the key) - to keep it interesting. Nothing ground-breaking, but plenty to get off on. B+
