After Dinner Speakers: Thelma Houston, Rachel Heyhoe-Flint, James Whitaker

She is a multi-talented singer, songwriter, actress and international performer, an accomplished entertainer whose list of credits is a testament to her desire to meet new challenges and create new opportunities. With three decades as a recording artist to her credit, Thelma Houston can proudly look at a career rich in achievement. Thelma hit the top of the pop, R&B and dance charts with her high-powered rendition of "Don't Leave Me This Way" (originally recorded by Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes). A gold single, the now-classic song gave Thelma the distinction of being the first solo female artist at Motown to win a Grammy Award for "Best R&B Female Vocal Performance" in 1977 and virtually took her across the world.
