From Wikipedia: "Redd played a large part in getting then-unknown singer Mary J. Blige her start in the music industry. While working on the assembly line at General Motors, Redd met Blige's stepfather, who gave Redd a tape that featured Blige performing Anita Baker's 'Caught Up in the Rapture.' After hearing the tape, Redd helped her get signed to Uptown Records. Blige then toured with Redd as one of his backup singers."
