I agree she is a legend, writing hit after hit, and no recognition for her super talent is a crime. 😢 R.i.p beautiful lady. I pray the music industry does right by her.
its a shame how they never gave this very intelligent/talented woman her flowerz as she so deserved whilst she could still smell it..😢....Thank you Ms Martin for sharing a piece of u with this world..with us music loverz❤...indeed as your very own words states; *it will all get better in time...for no evil/wickedness shall prosper!* ...Rip...May ur beautiful soul lives on...❤
These awards shows highlight the performers, but they really need to give more public recognition of these writers and musicians. They deserve their own light to shine. 😢💜
They do get awards and do get recognition. There are some awards shows where they publicly nominate and award writers and composers,musicians etc. If you look up some composers,producers or writers many of them will have album covers of music theyve composed and the records went platinum or gold etc and theyll have awards posted on their walls and cabinets and such. They are mainly well known within the music industry but just not to us cz most of us really dont care who did all the behind the scenes work.
They actually deserve more kudos and recognition than the performers. They are the real creators while the performers merely interpret what has been created.
For certain categories, the Grammy's announcea the songwriters of the nominees. It might be Song of the Year and maybe one other category. This year, they launched the Songwriter of the Year category. Tobias Jesso Jr. Was the first recipient.
Cool you went to school with such a talented young lady. It's sad she had no knowledge as to how to cover her work😢so many artist get no recognition no royalties nothing except a post on "Did you know" without evidence and even then it's a a long drawn-out legal fight. My this Queen receive what is due to her.🎉rip
This saddens me to find out that she passed. Being a child of the 80s, you grew up to Andrea Martin’s songs even the ones she actually recorded herself… you fell in love or cried to her songs after a dang breakup 😂❤ She truly had a gift for writing some of the greatest RnB hits ever! 😢❤🎉 Thank you for creating this video… brought back memories hearing her AND these songs!
She is the child of the early 70s said to had her beautiful voice on record. For every intro of every song she wrong. Its the artist that is told to sing louder to drown out the original singer voice. So people would never find out. Until you hear the demise of the actual writer and artist.
My LaGuardia High School Sister! You aint heard beautiful singing until your 16 years old walking through the school halls listening to fresh natural innocent honest talent! I miss you so much Andrea!
@@mmacak08 Oh wow. I would be honored to share a little antidote . Andrea was a Sophomore at LaGuardia High school when I entered the school. She was close friends with one of my dear friends who's also a fantastic singer named Natasha Blackman. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EKMOQWCubaY.html. Well, because we all lived in Brooklyn we would ride the subway home together and the two of them would sing on the train and have all the passengers mesmerized by their voices. LaGuardia was very simular to the movie FAME. So many ambitious kids just bursting with grade A Talent.
YOOO I literally felt a type of way seeing this! I had heard a snippet of her saying how she came up with En Vouge's joint & how she heard a guitar riff & just belted out that "What's it gonna beeeee" May Angela #RIP
@@katieriritaylor15 that’s what you call Gods given talent . I shed a few tears reminiscing those songs . My aunt had most of them in repeat while sipping wine . It’ll be a long time , if ever we get a soul like hers . I pray her family gets the strength to get through her loss . She needs a statue or to be put in a museum
One of the best high school memories for me was Andrea coming up to me and saying, "Listen to this..." and then would proceed to give a mini concert in the hallway! You could tell that she was going to do something BIG in life yet, she was sooo humble! May God Bless Your Beautiful Soul Andrea 🙏🏾❤️✝️♾️
Andrea Martin had THAT GOLDEN PEN!! I've never heard of this woman's songwriting credits until now, and it's a bit frustrating that Ms.Martin didn't receive due recognition while she was still with us. My condolensceces to her loved ones. May her transition have been one of peace and ease 🖤
What a PITIFUL shame Andrea didn't get the acknowledgments she soooo deserved! Those songs were hits! She shouldn't have wanted for anything. THANK YOU for sharing this about her. Some people in the music industry are just plain low-down, Con-artists!!! Rest in peace Dear Andrea🌹🎙🎶🎵🎼🎤💽🏆🏆🏆
What do you mean deserve? She was great and got paid. If you look at any of her songs they too have other writers. "Gotta Get to Know You Better"-Andrea Martin, Ivan Matias, Leon Huff, Gene McFadden, John Whitehead. "Baby"- Angie Stone, Corey Tatum, Kevin Norton, Curtis Mayfield
@@felixfungle-bung4688 yup! She deserves her credit which she already got and even back in the day i saw she was nominated for awards and stuff so its not like she went unrecognized. Idk why people expect her to be a billionaire or super famous when thats just not how it works for everyone. Over the years ive found out who wrote certain songs and its always some normal dude or lady that ive never heard of and sometimes people u would never think would write a certain type of song. Meanwhile theres other writers and producers that knew how to make a big business out of it.
Never understood how people who profit off others never acknowledge the person that made them successful. Just team up with them in a legit way and you both can prosper because the truth will one day come out. Just be fair to the Creator. Smh. RIP to her. Hope her family comes after the royalties of these songs.
That's ashamed, this beautiful black women wrote some awesome songs.The song from Envough was one of my favorite. The used that song on the film , (Set it OFF)
@@peterolbrisch8970 Her being a darker skinned black woman is the main reason why she didn't get her flowers. Every song in this video I know them, yet I didn't know it was her that wrote these songs. Her talent was great, but colorism did play a part.
❤🧿✨ So beautiful, gifted and inspirational. Thank you for completing your mission and giving us all the necessary vibes along the way. I love you and appreciate you Sistar! ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I like your comment but she needs a lot more I am from the 60s and there are a lot of songs she wrote for artist as well back then for herself this is why the industry kept her voice on the recording for all the songs she wrote. So if you listen really good you can hear her voice.
Interesting! She had a really great voice and could carry her own. I pray they will do right and give her what is rightfully hers even though she is no longer here to enjoy it! Blessings!
I remember when I met her years ago at a song writer's conference. She had such great energy with a very soft but very known presence❤. I am very sad about happening to find out through this video that she passed away🙏🏾 rest well in musical heaven QUEEN angel. And I hope that your family fight and win all of your royalties that you deserve 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
🗣️🗣️🗣️ SO MUCH LOVE IS SENT OUT TO HER AND HER FAMILY! THE INDUSTRY DEFINITELY DID NOT SHOW HER THE RESPECT THAT WAS NEEDED! AND WHY AM I ALSO LEARNING ABOUT THIS IN 2023?!?!?
It's a pity she was never given the recognition and love that is due to an amazing artist like her. I love all the songs mentioned here and people are still jamming to them to this day. Her body if work has stood the test of time. Rest in Peace Ms. Martin😢😢❤❤
It's really not ! The sole purpose of a "Ghost Writer" is to remain silent behind the song they're Ghost writing for the singer. It's business, They cut the check$ rather it be small or big it's a gamble. Whose to say that any of her work would actually be as big as would be. "Name of the Game", Is "Name Your Price" !!!
Its so undeserving common that talented people get their credit when they"re no longer amongst us. Thank you ❤for these beautiful songs Miss Anderson, RIP 😢
I HATE the way these silent Geniuses don't get their flowers, or their checks while they live!!!! I love all her songs!!!! And never knew! Rest well Queen! I was a big Fan and never knew it!
I sometimes think, the very very best truly beautiful souls with talent do not get the best from this world, but God gives, and sees all. Their true beauty and God given talent ultimately eternally Glorifies Him. May God bless and keep you Andrea.🙏🌹🦋💕🇬🇧🇧🇧
An AMAZING , TALENTED writer ! So sad that she was never given her flowers 🌹 while she was still alive . Her music is her legacy and for that , we are grateful. RIP Queen 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
TOTALLY AGREE tht her family needs to get what was owed to her!!! She was indeed a musical genius…Let me return the favor used to be my jam back in ‘98
I cried when she died. She was never given her flowers🎉, because she wasn't appreciated. Plus, we live in a colorist society. #isaidwhatisaid RIP Andrea😢
