My Ol'School Take: "What Cha Gonna Do With My Lovin" -Stephanie Mills This song brings alot of funny & dear memories 2 me.
I remember my father taking me 4 the 1st time in a Stephanie Mills concert when I was 6 maybe 7(Now, from a distance. People always mistaken my father 4 Teddy Pendergrass back in the day, he looks alot like him from say 10 meters when he's sitting) and I remember her pointing her finger on my daddy like "What Cha Gonna Do With My Lovin" and the back-up vocalists where singing along, she sang the whole verse-2 while she's looking and pointing at my daddy, I kid you not lol. I remember turning my head 2ward my mother and funny thang was she had a sharp mean look like she's saying 2 herself "That heffa! Is she gonna try to pull him up 2 the stage and strip 4 him too?" on our way out she sent one of her assistants 2 my father and when got near her limo she apoligized by saying with a laugh "I swear o' god that I was this close from asking you to join me on stage" she thanked us 4 coming and went on her own day. I'll neva 4get that night. | |

I love Stephanie Mills. When she came to town in April w/The Isley Brothers, she outperformed them to me. She sounded perfect. I love this cut by her and so many others. | |

It's amazing that a voice like that comes out of someone so small. It makes you think she's only lungs on the inside 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

Great song, great choice! Isn't she touring with Teddy Pendergrass now? "Funkyslsistah… you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude"!

One of my favorite female vocalists of all time. She'd sing circles around 99% percent of these so called female vocalists today. | |

Yes,Stephanie is currently on a summer tour right now with Teddy Pendergrass.The two of them recorded a few duets together back in the early 80s.Unfortunately,their July show was cancelled in my area. Meanwhile,Stephanie continues to work on a new album that is being released on the Def Jam/Classics record label later this year (it's a new label devoted to Old School artists). | |
