Question
Hello Crystal, I am hoping that you can assist me with trying to track down a song once heard on 90210.

I can not recall the exact season, but the scene opens with Valerie in the kitchen at the Walsh house preparing a picnic lunch and basket. It shows here in there for a bit as she goes through all the preparations of this lunch basket.
In the background a song is being played, and I think she may even stop the player before she heads out the back door?
The song is that of a female artist, and I would love to know who it is, and if this song is on an album by the artist, or some sort of compilation?

If you can provide any assistance in answering this question I will be very greatful. If not, can you tell me who I should contact about a music question?

Thank you for your time and attention to this question.

Sincerely
Mark

Answer
Hello Mark,

You are most likely looking for "I Know" by Dionne Farris. According to Tower Records, some albums you can find it on are:

Dionne Farris: Wild Seed - Wild Flower
90's Pop Hits- Various Artists (3 disc set)
The Ultimate 90's- Various Artists
Hits of 1995- Various Artists
Billboard Top Hits 1995- Various Artists
Lifetime Intimate Portrait: Women With Soul- Various Artists
Rock Of The '90s- Various Artists (3 disc set)

For a little extra information, that scene is from the episode "The Real McKay" (also called "The Real McCoy") from the 5th season. Also, yes, Valerie turns the song off right before heading out the door.

Thanks for your question,
Crystal
