==Early life and education==
Belle was born in Englewood, New Jersey. It was at Englewood's Mount Calvary Baptist Church, and then Paterson's Friendship Baptist Church (presided over by Belle's uncle, the Reverend Fred Belle), that Belle began attracting attention with her vocal abilities. She sang her first solo in church at age 8. Belle attended Dwight Morrow High School where she studied trombone, tuba and steel drums.〔Beckerman, Jim.

At Rutgers University, she became the first female vocalist with the school's jazz ensemble. Belle's musical influences include Phyllis Hyman, Billie Holiday, Shirley Caesar, Patti LaBelle, and Nancy Wilson.〔Bryant, Scott Poulsen (1993), ("Regina: A showstopper with star power" ), ''Essence Magazine'' 24, no. 4: 56-60; accessed May 6, 2008.〕
She was introduced to the Manhattans by New York radio DJ Vaughn Harper and began working as their opening act. She recorded the duet "Where Did We Go Wrong" with the group which helped to attract the attention of Columbia Records. They eventually signed her to a record deal.〔Paoletta, Michael ("Regina Belle displays diva diversity on new MCA set" ), ebscohost.com; accessed May 5, 2008.〕
