This was one beautiful talented woman.... Chaka Khan-esque with her voice, just a natural talent... She will be missed, sad to see so many from my growing up era going... :smh:

I remember she used to do a Jackee impression when she was on Arsenio.

She was a funny,lively woman and even though she was "Plus Sized",i thought she was very sexy.

R.I.P.

I remember seeing the Deele back in the mid 80's when they did club hopping to promote their album maybe the first or second album.
They did like 4 song and jet out to sing at the next club!!!

Got the chance to see Glen Jones, Loose Ends, Vesta Williams, Miles Jaye and a few other this way when club hopping was one of the ways for new artist to promote their new albums!!!!

PS Vesta was off the hook!!!!!!!!
