Lying back on plush pillows with Quiet Storm Queens Patti LaBelle and Anita Baker, Regina Belle’s amber-covered whisper was the potion for candlelight and afterglow. Raised in Englewood, New Jersey, and schooled in jazz and opera, she inherited strains of Billie’s passion, Sassy’s style and a taste for innovation from regents Coltrane and Cannonball. Protégé of the distinguished Manhattans and chosen partner for love sultans Barry White and Peabo Bryson, Regina was no stranger to seduction. Measuring out silvery doses of hunger and heat, she spun a fantasy lover who was real enough to miss.
