Marisa Lopez

Marisa Lopez was a Chicago based artist whose unreleased "I Can't Promise You Love" was a huge radio and Club hit-even though it never saw the light of day-beyond those of us who got original test pressings more than ten years ago. The song was the reason why Charlie Babie left the East Coast and settled here in Chicago. What most of you don't know is that Nelson "FFWD" Cruz was an original choice to produce the tune, but we honestly couldn't get a hold of him. Havi Roman was also close to Charlie, so he then recommended him to manage the project. What you also may not know is that there were publicity shots of Marisa featured as a Metropolitan Records artist, but the deal fell through and discouraged her so much that she gave up on the project. She remained a performer, but mostly sang spanish tunes at social events. She currently resides in California singing house music.
