Tarika Blue
"A New York-based ensemble led by keyboardist Phil Clendennin, Tarika Blue released two recordings in the late '70s that blended silky jazz fusion sensibilities and the mellow soul sound of the day that's now considered old-school. Vocalist Erykah Badu rekindled interest in the group by using, without permission, its laid-back tune 'Dreamflower' as the background for her platinum hit, 'Didn't Cha Know,' which went on to be nominated for R&B; song of the year in 2001." -All Music Guide
