The song was an instant smash worldwide, peaking in the top five of most major markets worldwide and achieving a peak of number one in many countries, including Germany. The song has many freestyle music influences, and it was marketed as "Hi-NRG" in Europe. Hits that followed included "Prove Your Love," *"I'll Always Love You," "Don't Rush Me," "With Every Beat of My Heart," *"Love Will Lead You Back," "I'll Be Your Shelter," "Heart of Stone," "Send Me a Lover," "Naked Without You" and "Whatever You Want." *Gold Singles

On February 5, 2008, multi-platinum recording artist Taylor Dayne released her first studio album Satisfied in almost 10 years on her own Intention Music label, distributed by Warner Music Group's Adrenaline/ADA. "The title is very tongue-in-cheek. There are all kinds of love on this album: unrequited, damaged, broken, hurtful, heart-filled... It's all about asking yourself, 'Are you sure this is where you want to be? Are you happy with the choices you've made?'" ~Taylor Dayne

Thelma Houston is an American singer-songwriter and actress. In 1976, Houston released her third album Any Way You Like It (Motown). The 1977 single, "Don't Leave Me This Way," (original track by Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes) hit #1 in the U.S. on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B charts as well as on the Club Play Singles chart. The song won for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 1978 Grammy Awards. On September 20, 2004, Houston's rendition of "Don't Leave Me This Way" was inducted into the Dance Music Hall of Fame in New York City.

Houston took acting classes and received her first role in the 1975 made-for-television film Death Scream. The following year, Houston recorded songs for the soundtrack to the film The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings starring Billy Dee Williams and James Earl Jones. She was invited to sing background vocals for label mate Jermaine Jackson's My Name Is Jermaine (Motown/1976).

Houston recorded the single "Love Masterpiece" for the comedy film, Thank God It's Friday (1978) and released the single "Saturday Night, Sunday Morning," which became her second and final Top 40 hit in the United States (#19 R&B, #34 Pop) from "Ride to the Rainbow" (P-Vine Japan/1979). Houston guest starred in several popular television programs including: Cagney & Lacey (1985), Simon & Simon (1986), Faerie Tale Theatre and Little Miss Perfect (1987) and appeared in the films: And God Created Woman (1988), 54 (1998), and Beloved (1998).

Thelma Houston continues to celebrate her outstanding career (over 21 albums) and shows no signs of slowing down. Her latest CD A Woman's Touch (Shout Factory/2007) features Houston's rich interpretations of many classic R&B and Pop recordings made famous by Luther Vandross, Rev. Al Green, Sting and Marvin Gaye. Most recently, Houston performed "Don't Leave Me This Way" on American Idol (April 2009) and America's Got Talent (September 2009). "Describe your relationship with your gay fans." "Hopefully it's a mutual admiration kind of thing. I like all of my audiences, but my relationship with the gay audience - my song came out at a time when the gay community was starting to organize as a community. 'Don't Leave Me This Way' was being played at a lot of clubs and as a result, I got asked to play at a lot of fundraisers and political activities to support the cause. A lot of my supporters - and we lost a lot of them to what we now know is AIDS and HIV - were from the gay community." ~David Magazine Interview with Thelma Houston
