Written by noted songwriter/producer LeMel Humes (whose credits include sides by Stephanie Mills and Miki Howard), Staci Lattisaw's 1990 single/duet "Where Do We Go From Here," captured the tone of her and then-boyfriend Johnny Gill's personal relationship (the two grew up together in Washington D.C.).

While Lattisaw, who signed her first record deal at the age of 13 and had a string of Top 40 kits in the 80's, would quickly move on from R&B and Pop to become an exclusive gospel music singer.
