The 80’s we had Stephanie, Chaka, Aretha, Anita, Whitney, Miki Howard, Angela Bofill, Phyllis Hyman, Karyn White, Vanessa Williams and many more. It’s amazing how a couple of background singers can give the feel of a full choir 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾

For someone so small (4FT 9) Stephanie has a massive voice, great choice and reaction, do The Medicine Song next! ❤

_HAPPY BLACK MUSIC MONTH!_ ❤️🖤💚 Stephanie Mills. 👑 ‘Nuff said. ✌🏽

Stephanie's "Feel the Fire" duet with Teddy Pendergrass is a good one.

NOBODY SINGS LIKE STEPHANIE.. NOT WHITNEY NOT MARIAH, NOBODY SINGS LIKE STEPHANIE.. Her vocals along with that feelin and conviction style she sings with that makes EVERY WORD she sings believable. The tone and sound of her voice.. She doesn't have to scream to get you to feel what she's singing about... Wow!! WHITNEY is outstanding, BUT NO SINGER DOES IT FOR ME. THE WAY STEPHANIE SONGS DO IT FOR ME.. AND NO ONE CAN SING STEPHANIE'S SONGS THE WAY SHE CAN.. but I've heard people do Whitney's songs just as good as she does but have yet to hear someone sing STEPHANIE'S songs better than her or even close.. Her voice is not easily duplicated...❤️🖤💚

Please feature Ms Angela Bofill in your post. RIP Angela Bofill

Yes She has Another Song I like Something In the Way.. think Ya'll Will Enjoy 2.. She Was friends with Michael Jackson.. ( It Would be Wrong to Not mention the Duet With Teddy Pendergrass song called Feel the Fire...lol

She is in my top 5 for a reason!!! Classic beautiful soulful voice....unmatched.

Stephanie is so soulful singer

Stephanie Mills had me crying plenty of times. That lady can cook. 🔥

Stephanie Mills has lots of great hits like What Cha Gonna Do with My Lovin' (video), (You're Puttin') A Rush On Me (video), Two Hearts featuring Teddy Pendergrass, Put Ur Body In It, Sweet Sensation, The Medicine Song (video), Starlight. All these songs were classic n u guys will enjoy her music.

Stephanie Mills a musical treasure protected at all costs

Another lady with great range is Angela Winbush. Her single "Angel" is fantastic!

Oh my goodness! Stephanie is wonderful! Just a priceless performer with a beautiful voice. This sounds so good after all these years. I'll take this music ANY DAY!!

A cigarette is always needed after this song. Whew❤️

Stephanie took you to school and you got a full education❤😊

Stephanie Mills. Biltful music 😇💜🌎🌹⭐🎧🎵🎵🎵🎵

Goose Bumps and tears of joy whenever Stephanie does her thing!❤

As entertainers go, I can`t find a thing wrong with Her, She`s the complete package. Where does that big voice come from??? there is no room in that tiny body for it, and it`s a beautiful voice as well. She did an interview 35+ years ago on a show called Merril at Midnight and came across as the sweetest person you could hope for ( Do an interview with Her PLEASE!). The show was so funny as both women are less than 5` tall and Stephanie Mills spoke of a vacation to one of the Asian countries where She said She felt so comfortable because everyone was near Her height. And last thing to mention because it has nothing of importance to who a person is but still, we can appreciate is Her God given beauty, Good Lord for sure! Peace and brother love to you and all. The host of the show is Nancy Merril if you care to check Her out.

Love Stephanie Mills

I would love to see you guys react to Stacy Lattisaw. She was popular in the early 80's as a teenage R&B singer.

Stephanie Mills was in my 6th grade class in Brooklyn New York she's singing in the class it was fabulous❤😊😊

Yes! I'd forgotten about this one by her. Such a excellent tune!

Just saw her live

Stephanie Mills was discovered at Cornerstone Baptist Church in Brooklyn where my Mother went. She was a part of the Youth Choir. Where she went on to play the lead role in The Wiz. There was four choirs at my Mother church and every Sunday was like a Concert. My mother also sang in one of the choirs.. She had no problems in getting me to go to church with her..😁👍🏽✌🏽

There is magic in her voice!!

Stephanie is one of my fave singers, sometimes underated. Such an interesting voice, I love her.

Stephanie is the real deal… Please check out Mikki Howard "Love Under New Management".

One of the great voices!🔥🔥😍🙌

Stephanie is wearing you both out!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊

Some female R&B singers from the 70s: Ann peebles - I can’t stand the rain, come to mama; Angela bofill - I try, this time I’ll be sweeter, what I wouldn’t do (for the love of you); Phyllis hyman - you know how to love me, somewhere in my lifetime; Brenda Russell - way back when, so good, so right; Deniece Williams - free; Minnie riperton - inside my love; Marlena shaw - go away little boy; Dorothy moore - misty blue; Gwen mccrae - rocking chair; Melba moore - lean on me; Emotions - flowers, don’t ask my neighbors, I don’t wanna lose your love; Labelle - Isn't It a Shame, What Can I Do For You, Are You Lonely (these last two were done Cher's variety show and there are clips with her performing with the group)

I love both of you, a couple makes it so much more special.

I saw her in concert in the 80s. She is a tiny woman and its hard to believe all that powerful voice in such a small package.

Oh man her voice cuts through 🔥

Tamia - You put a move on my heart, Wendy Morten - Come on in out of the rain, a couple of greats!

She has such a special soulful voice! A strong gospel feel, to be sure. Also, a Female Friday suggestion: "Nights Over Egypt" by the Jones Girls. Jazzy, groovy, mysterious -- an early '80s Philadelphia Soul classic.

Something In The Way YouMake Me Feel is a slightly more upbeat but still soulful jam from Stephanie Mills that y’all will enjoy. 😊

Great reaction! There are so many songs of hers that I love, but my favorite song by Stephanie is titled “You and I.” Absolutely beautiful. ❤

Next you HAVE to check out her I’ve Learned To Respect The Power of Love. It is amazing!!

A perfect example of knowing a song but not fully remembering or appreciating how fantastic it is. You guys should check out You & I, Starlight, The Comfort of a Man, Still Mine, Nightgames and I Just Wanna Say.

Some other R&B from the 80s, Patti Labelle - Yo Mister (written and produced by Prince), Stir It Up, If You Asked Me (the closing some from the James Bond movie, Licence To Kill). A dance song, Gwen Guthrie, Ain't Nothin' Going on But the Rent.

My Female Friday request is Thelma Houston - Don't Leave Me This Way. One of the biggest hits of disco! She won a Grammy with this song. It went to #1! It will make you want to find a lit up dance floor.

You should check out her live performance from Sinbad’s Summer Jam in the 90s. Such a beautiful performance!

FEEL THE FIRE. Stephanie Mills ft Teddy Pendergrass 🔥🔥🔥

Jennifer Hudson "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going", Donna Summer "State of Independence", Deniece Williams "Free", Dorothy Moore "Misty Blue", Tina Turner "Private Dancer", Patrice Rushen "Remind Me", Tracie Spencer "Tender Kisses", High Inergy "You Can't Turn Me Off" and Maria Muldaur "Midnight At The Oasis" would all be great songs for Female Friday.

Stephenie Mills “Something in the Way Ya Make Me Feel”. If you want the funk side of Ms. Mills.

Oh come on now Jay. You just killed.Amber's vibe when you paused. She was so into Stephanie's vocals.and delivery. I'm beyond happy b that you finally got around to this great one by Stephanie. Whenever possible though, do the live performances. Live from back in the day is just as good and sometimes even better than the recordings. These artists had to have talent; just their voices and a mic. Next Stephanie song to do is."Feel The Fire". Live version from Sinbad's Summer Jam outdoor concert. It wasn't a huge venue but Stephanie was definitely working the crowd. There was a mini concert with just 4 of her songs. You just did "I Feel Goid All Over" and "Home" . If you have some 'spare' time you should give yourselves s treat and watch the whole concert. She performs "Home" last and after she leaves the stage she gets called back out to do and encore.....so good!!!. I didn't get to see this when you aired it but so happy to see it tonight. Thank you, thank you.

Good song good reaction

Must listen to "Something in the Way" (You Make Me Feel), and Sweet Sensation

A suggestion for female Friday is someone you have done only once, Denise Williams, she also has a fantastic voice. Silly, Black Butterfly, Free and If You Don't believe are some good songs to start with.

That was a EXCELLENT album. Each and Every song was a masterpiece!! Russel Simons produced the last song on the album “You Can’t Change My Ways”
