KARYN White’s stomach was doing somersaults.
This was her moment of truth.
And as she picked up the telephone and called Minneapolis, she understood clearly that when the call was over she would either be one happy–or humiliated–young woman.
As the phone rang, she closed her eyes and pictured what she would say when Terry Lewis came on the line. I can’t stop thinking about you? I want to be more than friends. She had no idea what was going to come out of her mouth. All she knew for certain was that, after months of long-distance conversation, she was finally going to tell Lewis how she felt about him.
“For a long time, I didn’t know where he was coming from,” says White of lewis, the Grammy-winning producer of Jimmy (Jam) Harris and Terry Lewis fame whom she had met in 1989 while recording at their Flyte Tyme Productions Studios in Minneapolis. “We would have these long, great conversations; and while I knew I really liked him, I would hang up wondering how he felt about me. It was like, What are you waiting for?’ Finally, I just had to say it. I told my girlfriend, “That’s it. I’m doing it today.’ So I called him up … and I just said, Look, I want to tell you something. I really like you.’”
