- NOTES
Stephanie Mills first came to fame as "the little girl
with the big voice" as the star of the hit Broadway play,
The Wiz, an adaptation of L. Frank Baum's classic book,
The Wizard Of Oz. She had many R&B hits such as "I Have
Learned to Respect the Power of Love," "I Feel Good All
Over," "(You're Puttin') A Rush On Me," "Something in the
Way (You Make Me Feel)" and "Home" along with one
certified million selling single, "Never Knew Love Like
This Before." In addition, she also had five gold albums:
Whatcha Gonna Do With My Lovin', Sweet Sensation,
Stephanie, If I Were Your Woman and Home.
Born on March 22, 1957 in Brooklyn, NY, Mills honed her
rich vocals singing gospel music at Brooklyn's Cornerstone
Baptist Church as a small child. At age 9, she began
appearing in the Broadway play Maggie Flynn. She was
presented with first prize after winning "The Amateur
Hour" talent contest six weeks straight at New York's
famed Apollo Theater when she was nine. That success led
to her being chosen as the opening act for The Isley
Brothers, eventually becoming good friends with lead
singer Ronald Isley. Many years later, Isley would manage
and later marry singer/songwriter Angela Winbush, who co-
wrote one of her number one R&B hits. Mills' debut album,
Movin' In The Right Direction was recorded for ABC Records
in 1974. A year later, she won the role of Dorothy in The
Wiz. Her rendition of the beautiful ballad "Home" was a
showstopper, mesmerizing audiences nightly for a number of
years. The original cast recording of The Wiz was produced
by Jerry Wexler and issued by Atlantic Records in spring
1975. Curiously, when The Wiz was made into a full length
feature film by Motown Records' film division and
Universal Pictures, Diana Ross played the role of Dorothy
instead of Mills. The film ended up being a major flop.
Singer Jermaine Jackson referred Mills to Motown head
Berry Gordy, who signed her to the label. Her Motown debut
was For the First Time, written and produced by Burt
Bacharach and Hal David, being issued in October 1976. For
the First Time is a sweet affair with Mills convincingly
covering Bacharach/David standards, most of which were
originally recorded by Dionne Warwick. In 1978, she signed
to 20th Century Records and was teamed with the hit
production duo of James Mtume ? later leader of Mtume, who
had a gold single with "Juicy Fruit" ? and Reggie Lucas.
Her first LP for the label, Whatcha Gonna Do With My
Lovin', went gold, going to number 12 R&B and number 22
pop on Billboard's charts in summer 1979 and spawned the
singles, "Whatcha Gonna Do With My Lovin'" and "You Can
Get Over." Her next LP, Sweet Sensation (#3 R&B, #16 Pop,
spring 1980) yielded "Sweet Sensation," "Never Knew Love
Like This Before," and the radio-aired LP track, "Try My
Love." Around this time, she briefly married former Soul
Train dancer Jeffrey Daniels of the group Shalamar. Next
came the LP titled Stephanie in spring 1981, which also
was a huge hit, peaking at #3 R&B and #30 Pop. The album
included notable songs such as "Two Hearts" ? a midtempo
duet with Teddy Pendergrass ? "Night Games" and the radio
-aired LP cut, "Don't Stop Doin' What Cha Do."
In 1981, Mills switched to Neil Bogart's Casablanca
Records. Her LPs for the label included Tantalizingly Hot,
Merciless and I've Got The Cure. During 1983, she had her
own NBC-TV daytime talk show and reprised on role in a
Broadway revival of The Wiz. She also signed with MCA
Records, where she released her Stephanie Mills album.
The first single from the Stephanie Mills album was "Stand
Back," in late 1985, which also included the passionate
ballad "I Have Learned To Respect The Power Of Love." "I
Have Learned To Respect The Power Of Love" was initially
written by Rene Moore and Angela Winbush ? best known as
the hit singing duo Rene & Angela ? as a gospel song and
originally was recorded by Alton McClain and Destiny on
their self-titled 1978 Polydor LP. The original version is
available on Polygram's Power of Love: Best of Soul
Essentials Ballads. Because of its massive radio play as
an album track, Mills' version of "I Have Learned To
Respect The Power Of Love, ? produced by Philly Soul
keyboardist Ron Kersey ? was reissued as an A side holding
the #1 R&B spot for two weeks in spring 1986. Its follow-
up, "Rising Desire" reached #11 R&B in summer 1986.
Her next LP's title cut was the Clay McMurray/Gloria
Jones/Pam Sawyer song, "If I Were Your Woman," originally
a 1971 #1 R&B, #9 Pop smash for Gladys Knight and the
Pips. Philly-based producer Nick Martinelli gave Mills her
second #1 R&B hit with "I Feel Good All Over," written by
husband and wife songwriting duo, Gabriel Hardeman and
Annette Hardeman. The song held the #1 R&B spot for three
weeks in spring 1987. Originally submitted to Mills'
fellow MCA labelmate Patti Labelle by the Hardemans, the
track was included on Mills' LP If I Were Your Woman,
issued June 1987 and peaked at #30 Pop in summer 1987.
Paul Laurence produced and co-wrote with Timmy Allen the
chugging '"(You're Putting) a Rush On Me" giving the
singer her third #1 R&B hit in fall 1987. The single made
it to #85 Pop and was followed by "Secret Lady," which
landed at #7 R&B in late 1987. Her covers of "If I Were
Your Woman" and "Where Is The Love" followed. All were
included on her If I Were Your Woman album, which peaked
at #1 R&B, #30 Pop in summer 1987. Following these hits,
Mills contacted Ronald Isley about working with
singer/songwriter/producer Angela Winbush who had hits as
half of Rene and Angela and was forging a hit-filled
career as a recording artist and producer for the group
Body among others. The collaboration between Mills and
Winbush resulted in another #1 R&B single, "Something In
The Way You Make Me Feel," in summer 1989.
Having starred for five years in the smash Broadway show
The Wiz and recorded the song "Home for the play's 1975
original cast soundtrack album, she wanted to record the
song again as a posthumous tribute to the play's producer,
Ken Harper, and the song's composer, Charlie Smalls. On
her new version of "Home," Take 6 sung the background
vocals. The song went to #1 R&B in late 1989 and was
followed by "Comfort Of A Man" and "Real Love." The Home
LP ended up peaking at #5 R&B, #82 Pop in summer 1989. She
then recorded a charting single with J.T. Taylor titled
"Heart To Heart" in late 1991. Her final MCA album,
Something Real included the hit "All Day All Night" and
"Never Do Wrong." Following this album, she recorded a
gospel album, Personal Inspirations, for Interscope
Records and recorded several tracks at Philadelphia
International Records with Bunny Sigler among others in
the late '90s.
