The two hit singles are " So In Love" and "Never Had a Chance" which made a debut on number 90 and number 88 respectively. Ella co-wrote four of the cuts "Got Lovin' For YOu", "Waiting Here For YOu", "I Have a Heart" and "Read My Mind". The song "Got Lovin' For You" was featured in an HBO movie about the life of American baseball legend Joe Torre of the Nwe York Mets. "Never Had A Chance" was also used in three weekly segements of a TV series shot in LA called L.A. FAME which is a spin off of the movie FAME. Latest info from the States has it that the video stands at Number 11 of the Urban Dance chart and playing three times a day on cable.
