In Europe she had a hitsingle with Youssou N'Dour, 7 seconds

edit: I see that only reached number 98 in the US, but I saw that Kisses in the wind reached number 8 in the US

wow, I can't believe that songs like Chocolate Cake, Weather with you, Four season in one day and Fall at your feet never reached the US charts.
