Arranger: Vassal Benford. Broadway performer and R&B and gospel chanteuse Stephanie Mills's career began in the mid-1970s when she starred as Dorothy in the theatrical production of THE WIZ. Though she's most closely identified with 1980s dance music, this two-CD compilation collects her numerous international hits from over three decades. Her disco smash "Never Knew Love Like This Before" and her soulful reading of the ballad "If I Were Your Woman" demonstrate her artistic range, while tracks like THE WIZ's "Home" acknowledge her theatrical roots.
