Spiritually Rich - Lattisaw decided to step away from the music industry around the time that her duet with Johnny Gill, "Where Do We Go From Here?," reached No. 1 on the charts, due to her disenchantment with the recording industry. "I always call people like that materially rich but spiritually poor," says Lattisaw. Since then Lattisaw has gone on to raise a family and is happier than ever. (Photo: Darnell Williams/BET)
