Grammy award winner Thelma Houston claimed the top of the pop, R&B and dance charts early in her career with her signature rendition of "Don't Leave Me This Way." Houston has rocked Rockefeller Center on NBC's The Today Show and the summer music special Hit Me Baby, One More Time. She dazzled in ABC's Motown45 and glittered on ABC's The Disco Ball. Along with Aretha Franklin and Mary Wilson, she raised the roof on Love, Rhythm and Blues for PBS. Houston appeared with Chaka Khan, CeCe Peniston, Phoebe Snow, and Mavis Staples as the "Sisters of Glory" in New York City in a rousing performance that later received a special request to be performed at the Vatican for the Pope. With recent appearances in Tokyo, Las Vegas, London and beyond, Houston continues to captivate audiences with her exhilarating performances.
