Patrice Rushen “Forget Me Nots” Hoodie

“Sending you forget me nots — to help me to remember…”

Released in 1982, “Forget Me Nots” was the breakout hit for Patrice Rushen, a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer whose style blended jazz chops with undeniable R&B appeal. With its smooth vocals, walking bassline, and catchy chorus, the song hit No. 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 — but its legacy goes far beyond the charts.

That unforgettable bassline? Sampled by Will Smith in “Men in Black”. The track’s polished funk groove and heartfelt lyrics made it a favorite among dancers, DJs, and lovers alike.

Released on Elektra Records, the 12-inch version extended the instrumental to let the groove breathe — making it a staple in roller rinks, skating circles, and two-step parties worldwide. The Elektra label, minimal but sharp, is featured on this tee as it appeared on the vinyl, giving your fit a true ’80s R&B feel.

Don’t forget this one. Rock “Forget Me Nots” and keep the groove alive.
