COMMENTS ON Brandi Wells
Watch Out was the single but i remember hearing a song called What Goes Around by her on KISS and WBLS back in about 82, she was on a label called WMOT which stood for We Men Of Talent

Rest in Peace.
I didn't know too much about her other than we were cousins (on my father's side). 6 months prior to her death, my brother passed away, whom was pretty close to Brandi. Donny informed me that she wasn't doing too well health wise and thought that it would be a good ideal for me to meet her for the first time beings though I was singing @ local clubs in Philadelphia @ that time and he thought that we could get together and engage in jam sessions. Deep inside I wanted to jump @ the opportunity to meet the cousin that everyone told me about-informing me that your voice sounds so much like "Peachy's" aka Brandi, however, fear from not being close to my father's side of the family took over and I never took the advice that my brother begged of me. Today, alot of mixed emotions are running through my heart, my mind....Peachy, RIP, We will meet, one day....until then, I will continue to sing for US and keep you near
your cousin,

I remember the first time I heard Brandi's voice on "Fantasy", back when it was first released in the early 80s. I was so hooked and tried to emulate her singing style. She was such a beautiful sista with a beautiful voice to match. When I heard she had passed, and the tragic situations she had gone through in her life before her death, it hurt me so badly to know how someone who brought so much joy to others, had to suffer so much in life. God only knows and knows best. But I just pray that now her soul has finally found peace. RIP Brandi. Neither you nor your music will ever be forgoten.
I have been looking for her since the time I heard her voince, the all of a sudden I got of the business and no more BRANDI, you are my life was so special to me as if she was singing to me, I just found her again and now she's gone, how sad, but i have her voince to remember hwen & then & now!
I miss Brandy.
i worked with her for years at Alpha International Studios and Sigma Sound in Philly recording & mixing almost all of her tracks & projects with various producers and WMOT/Fantasy, Fat Larry's Band, Slick, etc.
She was one of those talented people, a sweetheart, a friend who somehow lost her way along the path to greatness. i was stunned when I heard that she had passed on, and as i said, I miss her.

brandy came to live with me in the late 90's in phila , I called her my cousins,She was was a sweet and gentel person. I will miss Brandy,every time I hear Closer than Close,which she wrote, I will remember her
I have been looking for the artist that sang "Sunrise", back in or around, 1981, and my nephew finally found her for me; Ms. Brandi Wells. I am sorry to have learned that she has been called to sing from the clouds above the 'Sunrise', because she had a beautiful and unusual voice.
I still have yet to find the original print of "Sunrise", but I am even more compelled to find it now that I know she is a part of the 'Sunrise' warming the children as they play.
God Bless You, Brandi!!

My dad bought 21st Century Fox back when it was released in 85 and I loved every track. I still have the cassette tape I made of the album some 20 plus years ago. I am very sad to hear Brandi has passed and from what I'm reading she had some rough times as well. God Bless you.
I heard Watch out from a dance contest way way back and bought the single, I still have the single and still love the song.

"Watch Out" and "What Goes Around" were featured on the same LP.
