Fan-provided video:

 

[Rudy]

This is yet another album released on the Sagoma/DGM, which like the prior Gap Mangione album, was tied to Chuck Mangione (who produced) and includes familiar Mangione sidekicks such as Gerry Niewood (woodwinds), Mick Guzauski (engineer), and Gap Mangione (keys).

 

[Bobberman]

I love her singing I especially enjoy her later vocal version of "Chase the Clouds away" on her Need to be album the lyrics are for me very deep for unanswerable reasons

 

[Rudy]

I haven't looked, but...I wonder whatever happened to her. She doesn't have anything that I can find beyond her albums with the Mangiones.

File under " Where are they now" I agree I would have loved to hear more from Ms Satterfield as i followed the Mangiones I would have followed her music she was a very unique singer
