Stephanie Mills born 1957 
Happy Belated Birthday to the songstress. Do you have a favorite performance of hers? 

 

Chaka Khan will always be my personal favorite vocalist of all time. 

 

However, there is no denying that Stephanie Mills has always been an incredible vocalist too. 

 

My favorite Stephanie Mills song is "What You Gonna Do with my Lovin".😎

ah @ProfD everybody loves chaka khan

Chaka not only still has those amazing pipes but, at 74, she  looks great!

Stephanie is still hangin in there too, her mellow voice retaining its smooth quality. Didn't she recently go on tour with Gladys Knight, Patti LaBelle, and Chaka,-  the Grand Dames of R&B?

I like Stephanie Mills.
Short little lady....lol.

I've seen her in real life on several occasions....and that woman is short...and cute.

I was at an event where she sang for the opening.
Man, she hopped off stage and walked past me.
I was sitting down and was STILL taller than her...lol.

I waved at her and she had to LOOK UP at me to smile....lol.

Ok, I didn't know WHAT you were talking about at first.

I had to look up the fact that Stephanie played Dorothy in The Wiz to make the connection to what you were talking about, lol.

Personally, I thought Diana Ross was the only one who played that role.

you didn't know the stageplay, the wiz:) 

the stageplay came out before the film, its popularity is why diana ross wanted the roll, berry dgordy warned her against it
