Thelma Houston Booking Agency Profile
Thelma Houston, a native of Mississippi, began her career as a gospel singer with the Art Reynolds Singers in the 1960s. She is a committed musician and philanthropist. After signing with Capitol Records in 1967—the same label that signed the Beatles, Nat King Cole, and Nancy Wilson—Houston's first big song was "Baby Mine." The renowned Jimmy Webb wrote and produced Houston's first solo album, Sunshower, which was broadcast on ABC Dunhill in 1969.
Houston signed a record deal with Motown Records following her highly regarded debut. At Motown, she dominated the mainstream, R&B, and dance charts with her iconic version of "Don't Leave Me This Way." She is always a trailblazer. With this Gold Record classic, Houston became the first Motown solo female performer to win the GRAMMY Award for "Best R&B Female Vocal Performance."
Morrissey and Houston worked together on "Bobby, Don't You Think They Know." The dance track "Turn Your World Around" (Radikal Records) featuring Bimbo Jones was also released in the same year. The song swiftly reached No. 7 on the Billboard Dance Charts. As a creative artist, Houston collaborated with Jimmy Webb one more during the COVID-19 epidemic on the song "Someone is Standing Outside." Recent shows include CBS's Motown 60: A GRAMMY Celebration. Houston's performance was incredible. She most recently appeared on DJ Cassidy's Pass the Mic, a BET special. During Black History Month, she was honored by the 2022 City of Los Angeles African American Heritage Month Program as a Living Legend—which she truly is.
Houston continues to enthrall audiences with her thrilling performances and endearing anecdotes, making appearances in Tokyo, Las Vegas, London, and other places. Her vocal prowess, humor, and collaborative attitude continue to inspire new generations of musicians..
