As a staff songwriter at Philly International, Cynthia Biggs co-wrote just one big hit: “If You Only Knew” for Patti LaBelle. (Click here to stream it on my Vox blog.)

Wow, you've done it again. This is another one of those jams thats before my time so I never knew the artist or title, only to eventually have it suggested to me by Pandora Radio. I still didn't know that Jocelyn Brown factoid, though!
This is such a great song! I think the Jones Girls also did a song called "Something New", but I could be wrong. Whoever did that song was great too.
