Brooklyn-bred Grammy Award-winner and former Broadway star Stephanie Mills first came to fame as Dorothy in the hit Broadway play, “The Wiz,” an adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s classic children’s novel, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.”
She hit pay dirt with five number #1 R&B hits, including "I Have Learned to Respect the Power of Love" (written by Angela Winbush and René Moore), "I Feel Good All Over" (written by Gabriel Hardeman and Annette Hardeman, a former background singer for Patti Labelle), "(You're Puttin') A Rush on Me," “Home” and the Angela Winbush penned "Something in the Way (You Make Me Feel)," as well as her highest charting single on the Billboard Pop Singles Chart, "Never Knew Love Like This Before."
She also received five U.S. Gold albums (“Whatcha Gonna Do With My Lovin’,” “Sweet Sensation,” “Stephanie,” “If I Were Your Woman” and “Home.”)
She honed her craft singing gospel music at Brooklyn’s Cornerstone Baptist Church as a small kid. At age 9, she began appearing in the Broadway musical “Maggie Flynn,” inspired by a true story set in the New York Draft Riots of 1863. After winning “The Amateur Hour” talent contest six weeks straight at Harlem's Apollo Theatre she was presented with first prize.
That success led to her being chosen as the opening act for legendary The Isley Brothers, eventually becoming close friends with lead singer Ronald Isley. In 1993, Isley married Angela Winbush in Los Angeles, California.
