I know no music from her except "Child of God" which I really love. Any recommendations where to start?

"Feelin' Bitchy" is a good place to start with her 70's material. As far as the 80's, I would recommend "The Tide Is Turning". It's a good, clean record with some really nice vocals. There are also a couple of really nice compilations that cover her Spring Records as well as her Jive Records days.

SoulAlive

For obvious reasons,Millie didn't get alot of airplay on the radio lol but that changed in 1986 when she released the album An Imitation Of Love.The first single "Hot!Wild!Unrestricted!Crazy Love" became a Top 10 R&B hit,as did the follow-up single "Love Is A Dangerous Game".She toned down the raunchiness somewhat and it was her most commercial album in years.
