One of the few Prince proteges to have a hit song, Rosie Gaines rocked the British dance scene with this Hi-NRG track. “Closer Than Close” had a great lyrical hook and a get-up-and-dance beat. If they only made dance music like this today!

We are glad that this sound still carries on on her album Pro*Whoa!
