-With Loretta Manago ENTERTAINING THOUGHTS LoreUa Stephanie Mills’ Latest Album Is Exceptional Before I get started about what’s happening on your Zenith, Sony or Quasar, indulge me a few minutes to sound off about Stephanie Mills and her newly released album. Every since this young lady per formed in the musical, "The Wiz” I have taken a special interest in her work and have come to the con clusion that to say she is talented is an extreme underestimation. She proves this by her third album. Those of you who listen to the radio have probably touched bases with hfer album. Stephanie and Teddy Pendergrass get together to sing, “Two Hearts.” Their blend of music magic makes any non believer believe in love. On that same side, the cuts range from a moderate to an upbeat tempo; “Winner,” “Keep On Doing What Cha Do," and "Top Of My List” each has its own individual style that has been stamped “Ste phanie.” Flip the album over and become amazed at the depth in which an arfct can involve herself in her work. Although I found myself mellowing over the tunes, “I Be lieve In Love Songs” and "My Love’s Been Good To You” her excellence as an artist is revealed in "Night Games" and “Magic,” written by Ms. Mills and her hus band Jeffrey Daniels. Both pieces are slow and deal with love, both lost and gained. And if they don't move you, you can’t be touched. It’s rare when I buy an album and don't omit a couple of the tunes , but Stephan ie’s album is a definite “Winner” and it’s on “The Top Of My List.” + + + + who will America s favorite blue-eyed doll be for 1981?
