Letoya, the underrated artist

Heeyah y'all, how's y'all doin'? I hope y'all are fine. Keep fighting! Keep fighting against the virus!

Anyway, I was just listening to Hot Potatoe and Night Lover and all I thought was: -"Wow, Letoya's so great." Too bad she doesn't have recognition, not even one granny. I mean has she even ever been nominated for a Granny? So, what is your opinion? Why is it that Letoya doesn't get recognition? Will she ever win a granny?

WARNING: Letoya haters this is not- NOT- the place for you to come. Go away dummies mad

Her self-titled album was a solid R&B/soul album. Has that classic late-70's/early-80's sound, and reminds me of the same type of sound Deniece Williams was putting out around then.

Everyone knows Deniece Williams was a Letoya wannabe.

I don't think there's singer dead or alive who strived to be a Letoya wannabe. lol

Letoya should know, she's a worldwide star particularly in East Timor and Tasmania. I hope y'all recall she had not one, not two, but six #1 hits in East Timor. Add to that her 5 #1s in Tasmania and a dozen more round the world and you have a career unworthy of being poorly seen in comparison to the family. IMO the Jacksons always plotted against her. In a way, I think she running away with Jack Gordan was her attempt at getting revenge at the family but it ended up with Gordan doing very devalish things with her and stuff
