If Mariah only had recorded ONE single, that very first one;
Vision of Love, would be enough to make any musician very proud. It’s remarkable to know that this was her first fully produced single. The record producers must have been stunned.
I think all the singing on it, all the harmonizing is her voice. I can only think of someone like Joni Mitchell, another natural talent, who was able to pull that off so successfully. Listen to Ladies of the Canyon and many others.
Reminds me of an editorial cartoon last Christmas:
Woman is telling a mechanic that her car keeps making an awful sound.
Mechanic asks "Did you try popping out the Mariah Carey Christmas CD?"
Thanks for posting about Mariah Carey’s debut single. I had to refresh my memory. What a talent. As my dad says, “They don’t make them like that anymore.”
