Background



In 1989, Wash recorded a song "(You're My One and Only) True Love" as a demo, produced by David Cole who would later form the C+C Music Factory. Cole later gave the song to then-upcoming female group Seduction. The song appeared on Seduction's debut album 'Nothing Matters Without Love', released in September 1989, retaining the use of Wash's lead vocals and added Seduction's background vocals to the song. In addition, she was only credited for her background vocals and Cole remixed and altered Wash's lead vocals of the song to make her voice less recognizable on the song.[https://www.nytimes.com/1990/12/06/arts/lawsuits-seek-truth-in-music-labeling.html Lawsuits Seek Truth in Music Labeling].
