Angela Winbush is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Angela Winbush, released on March 15, 1994, on Elektra Records. The album features two versions of the Marvin Gaye classic "Inner City Blues"; the album version and a radio edit.
"Inner City Blues" and the lead single "Treat U Rite" were produced by singer-songwriter Chuckii Booker. Also included on the album is "Baby Hold On", a duet with then-husband Ronald Isley.
Reception
AllMusic's Andrew Hamilton rated the album three out of a possible five stars, paying special attention to the lead track "Treat U Rite"; he called it "a tasty mid-tempo romancer that's almost too rich for the music diabetic."
"Treat U Rite" quickly gained heavy rotation on US R&B radio airplay. The song became an R&B hit, and peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Top R&B Songs chart.[1] The self-titled album reached No. 11 on Billboards Top R&B Albums chart.
