After listening to the songs that MVJ co-wrote for Deniece Williams ...
I wonder what MVJ's real-life girl group The Articulettes sang?
And what did Anita's fictional Articulettes sing?
7" 45 RPM single from Deniece Williams
taken from the "Let's Hear it for the Boy" album

This U.S.A. single sold to the public has these songs:
A-side: Black Butterfly
B-side: Blind Dating co-written by MVJ
The UK and Netherlands singles of Black Butterfly don't have "Blind Dating" on the B-side. Other songs are on B-side.
There are U.S. promotional copies of Black Butterfly that don't have Blind Dating on the B-side.
U.S.A. public single:
“On ERICA versus RACHEL, Erica was a very unique character. ... Rachel was a lower-class Erica, her mother was a cleaning woman, and her goals were not nearly stratospheric as Erica’s. Rachel just wanted to marry Russ or somebody with money. What Erica and Rachel have in common is they thought if they could get their dream, they’d be satisfied. But that dream has been very elusive.”– Agnes Nixon, Creator, ONE LIFE TO LIVE, ALL MY CHILDREN, and LOVING
So my takeaway from this, plus knowing the characters, is that both Rachel & Erica schemed for acquisition. They wanted to acquire romance, husbands, prosperity, a kind of low-level fame or notoriety.
Am I correct in thinking that Carla schemed for safety, camouflage, to keep from getting caught & so for survival? Or did she also scheme for things similar to above?
