Jennifer Holliday - The Song Is You (Deluxe Edition) (2014)

Jennifer Holliday, the original Dreamgirl , is an iconic performer who has scored a number of R&B and dance hits (including the all-time classic And I m Telling You I m Not Going ), starred in many Broadway plays (including her signature role as Effie in the original Dreamgirls) and more recently initiated a new career performing with symphony orchestras at major concert halls around the world.

The Song Is You is Jennifer Holliday s first new secular album in many years and, as such, is sure to be hailed as a major event. The album delivers a mixture of Pop, Jazz, and R&B standards as well as two new songs, replete with gorgeous orchestration and graced with Jennifer s emotive, powerhouse vocalizing which few performers today can match. The album follows a career resurgence sparked by major television appearances on American Idol, The Voice, and Ellen, as well as performing at Chaka Khan s recent Apollo Legends Hall of Fame induction ceremony, which will be aired by BET this fall.
