Stephanie Mills rose to stardom as Dorothy in the original Broadway run of the Tony Award winning musical The Wiz. The song Home, written by Charlie Smalls, from the show later became a No.1 U.S. R&B hit for Mills and her signature song.

About OutandAboutnycmag
Out & About NYC Magazine was founded to offer the arts and lifestyle enthusiast a fresh new look at New York City. We will showcase the established and the emerging, the traditional and the trendy. And we will do it with élan, and panache with a dash of fun.
I first met Stephanie through her sister, Judy at the NEGRO ENSEMBLE COMPANY in NY. We were rehearsing a play and Judy intimated that her little sister, a petite teen, had this powerhouse voice. I didn’t believe such a tiny young thing could live up to her proud sister’s boast……until she opened her mouth in song——I was truly humbled!
God Bless you, Stephanie Mills and your family!

Following a multiyear renovation, the reenvisioned installation reintroduces visitors to the Museum’s collection of sub-Saharan African art through a selection of some 500 works organized to survey major artistic movements and living traditions from across the subcontinent. The new galleries present original creations from the Middle Ages to the present, and one-fourth of the works are on display at the Museum for the first time.
