The A&T University Foundation Inc. will present the Isley Brothers with a special guest Stephanie Mills as part of the Aggie 2002 Homecoming Celebration.
Mills began her illustrious career on Broadway at the age of 9 where she mesmerized crowds in her first Broadway musical, “Maggie Flynn.”
She won amateur night for six consecutive weeks at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, the catalyst that launched her recording career.
Her first single, “I Knew It Was Love,” landed her the leading role in yet another Broadway show at the age of 15. It was the coveted role of Dorothy on the four-time Tony award winning show, “The Wiz.”
Her hit recordings include “Never Knew Love Like This Before,” “Feel the Fire,” “What Cha Gonna Do With My Lovin’,” “I Feel Good All Over” and “Puttin’ a Rush on Me.”
Mills is a recipient of all major music awards. Her latest gospel recording won her the Stellar Award nomination and a 1995 Dove award.
