"On the scene with all the musicians, she was one of the cats....she was playing all the instruments and she wasn’t easily pigeonholed. She’s like a lot of us from New York where we’ll be playing straight-ahead jazz one song, and the next song could be Pink Floyd!” -Marcus Miller

​

"All of us are music translators – people like Donald Blackman, Bernard Wright, Marcus Miller and Omar Hakim. She wasn’t just a singer. She could translate – a consummate musician. Plus, she was badass. Not many people have heard the prowess that she has....record companies ain’t ready to take chances like that." -Lenny White

​

"She is such the music producer, and a songwriter as well, but she is so versed in playing instruments....[Richards’ tone has] got a velvety feel over the top of it all the time, yet it has bite when you need it." -Mark Kibble of Take 6
