It’s Day 4 of music dedication week. Today’s feature - Divas from the 80’s & early 90’s - Are they Still Around or Did they Disappear?

ANITA BAKER

This songbird disappeared off the radar. I remember my first Anita Baker concert. I can’t remember who else performed but I can remember her sounding just as good in person as she did on her records.  

Toni Braxton

Toni Braxton has been performing in Las Vegas. I read on Eurweb.com that she had gotten sick so hopefully, she’s doing better.  I hope to catch one of her shows the next time I go to Vegas.

Sade

Sade’s music is still soothing to the soul. The Best of Sade is something I play on a regular basis. 

Whitney Houston

I can’t have a list of Divas from the 80s & 90s list and not mention Ms. Houston. Her voice couldn’t be touched back in the day.

Jennifer Holliday

Jennifer’s rendition of  ”And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going” is still one of my favorite songs. This original dream girl can still blow.

Honorable Mention - Oletha Adams

Oletha Adams might not have been as mainstream as some of the other Divas, but she has a voice that sets her apart from some of the other women of her day.

Who were some of your favorite Divas from the 80s and early 90s?
