  • This was an AMAZING performance!!! Stephanie Mills is pure class & Sinbad has been cheering her on since the days at the Apollo. This was so beautiful to see.. Thanks so much for posting this.

  • The end was cut off! The end is good too!

  • She owns this song no one else should even try to sing it unless they can put that much of themselves into it. It is SPECIAL

  • @themobiledoc I said the same thing on a clip for Diana Ross singing home for the Wiz, I'm like Stephanie owns this song and of course they voted me down but hey I guess they don't know good singing.

  • WOW!! What a voice.What a POWER HOUSE Singer...Stephanie messed me up with this song..Needed a few minutes before I could get back to work..and her Anointing just shines through what ever she sings..She ranks up there with DIVA's like Patty Labelle and Yolanda Adams. What a force of nature...

  • She has a very big powerful and beautiful voice! She's a note perfect singer too!

  • All I'm gonna say is just look at God ya'll...just look at God!

  • Pint size but full of dynamite....

  • This is how you do it, OMG Stephanie...you have touched my soul on this performance...

  • OMG...That performance put tears in my eyes.

  • This woman is simply outstanding, and there is NO ONE! that can sing this song like Stephanie Mills - NO BODY!!!!! I feel like I'm at church

  • Here and Mike would've had some BEAUTIFUL KIDS...sigh...what if... :(

  • that's how it's done thank u miss mills

  • MacDaddyCoolC1.......OMG ! You have spoken the truth, and to top it off she is singing outside and sounding this good ! Pure Genius ! This song has only been copied once (Diana Ross, and she should have been smacked for doing so) which proves most folks know better than to mess with PERFECTION !!! She blew Aruba away with this performance. I was there, it was magical.

  • I get chills listening to this great women - WOW!

    Stephanie Mills is the best and her voice sounds outstanding

  • ‎1"03 to 1"06 just killed me and 2"29 to 2"33 too. soul to soul. some woman is Stephanie Mills...

  • 1"03 to 1"06  is beautiful, just beautiful (so is the song of course)

  • i love it.

    Thank you You are one beautiful talented woman Strphanie. Always

  • du bis erlöst.ruhe in frieden kleine valerie danke für deine schöne lieder!

  • i was quiet the whole time watching this.. love

  • This folks is what a SINGER sounds like. No auto-tune, just pure VOCAL talent. Absolutely superb!! This sounds so damn good, it almost makes you think she's lip-synching a high definition sound cd. This is just amazing VOCAL ability. Fake Ass singers please take note.

  • @MackDaddyCoolC ....she has the entire audience emoting, swaying, to her fantastic interpretation of this song......you have said IT, Brother.....

  • Comment removed

  • astonishing performance coming directly from her soul...

  • Where is her Unsung episode??!!!

  • Everytime I hear her sing this song it gives me chill bumps!! Go Stephanie!!

  • Sinbad told da TRUTH!!

  • This is called SANGING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

    

  • GOOSEBUMPS ALL OVER ME!!!

  • OMG THIS SONG WILL MAKE YOU SHOUT, I DOUBLE DOG DARE TO LISTEN LOL!!!

  • ganier14 you are right I would love to see these Diva's more and more.

    Don

  • WE NEED TO TREASURE THESE BEAUTIFUL SINGING DIVA'S NOW! LETS NOT WAIT TILL THEY PASS ON TO SHOW OUR RESPECT.  THE DIVA'S OF THE 80'S AND EARLY 90'S GET NO RESPECT THESE DAYS, THEY SHOULD BE PERFOMING AT THE AWARD SHOWS NOW, THEY STILL HAVE IT AND ALWAYS WILL.

  • 9.19 says all...that lady with a blessed stunning voice was never quite able to connect back in time.what a shame! with her way to move between gospel and r&b she was a great singer.the producers were blind for that small great diva as a vocalist.or did anybody in europe knows her?

  • This is 100% Genuine talent. Notice Stephanie is nicely clothed and not showing her body off to woo the crowd nor using trickery either. Her voice alone woos the crowd. This is what is called using your God-given talent. Please take notes Beyonce, Rihanna, and Keri!!!

  • notice this is live...not memorex...real talent

    original!!!

  • @msrightlatina I agree a 100%, we need more of this kind of talent today

  • off! the chain! sick voice and all! gods gift to this earth! love you stephanie! god she gives me goose bumps! and im a dude! tears of joy! brooklyns finest!!

  • off! the chain! sick voice and all! gods gift to this earth! love you stephanie! god she gives me goose bumps! and im a dude! tears of joy!

  • @plankavill God is always blessing the new singers in this generation can't touch the woman of old school they need to take notes i grew up in the era i'm around their age

  • @rawimagestudiophotog- lol right ? Aint no other like steph

  • A tear jerker for sure... I love this entire video... Those back ground singers put more soul into these songs than people are given credit.. I was teary eyed when i first saw this piece.. Wonderful.. Kick it baby girl.....

  • @MrFunkmaster2 I will NEVER get tired of watching this performance of the soul! And I was just thinking the same about these backup singers- "they put their foot right on in it with Stephanie!" You just don't get this kind of flavor from rehearsals, like Prego, "it's in their"- they've got; they had to feel what they were singing from bottom of their souls. I just love it!!! I hope Stephanie returns to the music world to bless us sometime in the near future.

  • @shebashine1

    Wow, I would have never guess that she had a cold while doing this show for Sinbad. Just straight God giving talent. I don't know what more I can say about Stephanie.

  • 6 people were born in the late 90's and don't know what real music sounds like. Poor kids.

  • Stephanie is a real singer with true raw talent that doesn't have to sell herself short but doing simple stunts to get attention. She tore this song up.

  • @athie930

    Stephanie had a cold that night and almost cancelled. Just think what she would have sounded like if she had been well!

  • Saw this live show...Love, love, love her!!!! Who would know that such a tiny person has such a great BIG voice!!! She does a great show!!

  • For the record and for those who are unaware....Stephanie Mills sang this song on Broadway when she starred in the play "The Wiz" (back in the late 70's). This is one of her signature songs and yes she sang it better than Diana because Stephanie was the true author of this song. NO ONE and I repeat...NO ONE can sing this song like Stephanie...(absolutely no one)!!!!!!!

  • @joecruise1014 you better say that!!! Diana's version can't touch Stephanie's.... we need some real singers to come back and move these autotoned performers out of the way!

  • Love it love it!!!

  • This was the last act of the night. This woman came behind the powerful and dynamic group Earth, Wind, and Fire. That was a hard act to follow. At first I thought it was unfair, but she did not need a bunch of dancers and fireworks. This woman sung from her heart a shocked everyone. No one expected this from Stephanie, but she stole the show right from under them.

  • that's the late bernie mac on the stage with sinbad and stephanie, aruba festival

  • @asoutherngal1

    That is Phillip Bailey of Earth, Wind and Fire. They came on right before her.

  • Oh My My My! Now that is how you send them to the house! What a performance!

  • THAT WAS A MASTERS CLASS IN PERFORMING RIGHT THERE!!!!!!! She's always been one of my favorites and watching this vid brings it all home again. WOW!!!!!

  • she can sure Sang..not sing but sang

  • Luv this song& Stephanie

  • Simply outstanding performance. They sure got there moneys worth there

  • Six people have no taste.

  • I LOVE STEPHANIE MILLS SHE IS THE BEST! SHE INSPIRES ME!!! I WANT TO BE JUST LIKE HER

  • A BROOKLYN SISTER THAT WAS CHURCH BOND WITH LORD... BRAVO

  • shes going to b at the beacon in ny, mothers day weekend. I cant wait to see her again!!!! SHE IS TRULY A LEGEND

  • Take it to church Stephanie

  • Her voice is as strong as it was when she was 16 and singing her heart out on the The Wiz Cast album. She is so underrated. Ans I love how she took to "Choich"

  • Her voice is as strong as it was when she was 16 and singing her heart out on the The Wiz Cast album. She is so underrated.

  • no doubt!!!

    

  • I love the way here voice cracks a little bit, but she STILL hits the notes. Damn, I wish Whitney had as much voice as this.

  • HER BACKGROUND SOUNDED TERRIBLE

  • Wow!

  • Gives me chills listening to her. This is the kind of music I grew up listening to.

  • I remember seeing this on TV back in the day, and I was just jumping up and down and actually got chills!!

  • I remember seeing her on Broadway in The Wiz. I cry every time I hear this song sung by her. Just amazing!

  • god gave this girl a great gift she really sings this song, she has gone back home too i think she;s doing spirtuals again

  • OMG that girl can sho nuff sang

  • Diana Ross could never out sing Stephanie that's why Steph did it on Broadway.

  • It's impossible for anything to be SO MUCH BETTER than Diana's version. You may like Steph's more, but let's not be foolish, Diana did her thing tooo...

  • @konumers This version is a gozillion times better than diana ross version. Why do you think the movie version of the wiz with diana ross was a flopp!!!!! yea dat part right dere!!!!

  • Dam Stephanie!! OMG you are so wonderful!! no one can sing it like you ever!!

    love you!

  • I LOVE HER OMG!! SHE IS AWESOME. I WISH SHE WOULD COME OUT MORE. NO OTHER FEMALE SINGER COMPARES TO HER..

  • If it wasn't for singers like Stephanie you wouldn't have the Rihanna's and Beyonce's. Although I too like them also. All are great singers in their own right. No need for the 5 hates. Just goes to show you there are people out there have no class.

  • Brought tears to my eyes, not of sadness, but of understanding a natural talent that not a lot of folks that call themselves singing can even come close to today...

  • I never thought I would see this again, I saw this a long time ago and I LOVED IT Thank you soooooo very much for posting it. She know she tore the mutha down with that shit baby. I LOVE IT

  • Awesome!!!!! Does anyone know where she will be performing in the next 60 days?

  • 5 clowns don't have a home you assholes smh.

  • Now this is real music, nothing like old school

  • FIVE JEALOUS PEOPLE DON'T LIKE; SHE'S THE BOMB!

  • What he said at the end is the truth!!!

  • STEPHANIE MILLS is the ONLY person that should dare try to sing this song!

  • nw  yas

  • WHEN I THINK OF HOME. I THINK OF A RESTING PLACE. A PLACE OF PEACE, QUIET, AND SERENITY.

  • and live - she STILL does it like this.

    A l-a-d-y who touches her audience while she rocks!

  • I know every SoulR&B/Jazz singer, but why didnt i knew hear!! omg

  • This is one of my favorite performances by Ms. Mills. Thanks for uploading. I thought this was lost forever to the ether.

  • This isn't my favorite version of "Home", but it's the version that makes me cry like a baby.

  • Stephanie Mills is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! I miss this kind of music! Music that actually have a meaning!

  • Stellar performance that leaves you almost in a trance. If you cannot connect and feel the power in this I do not know what to tell you !

  • Dont hear music like this now...they were jammin

  • When I think of home......I just think about it.  So much to love and remember.

  • oh how silky is this ? i'm on a cloud right about now

  • whitney and mariah?she stepped all over them!

  • i agree, she is one of the best! why was she left in the dark? i hope she will reappear, and show everybody her talent!

  • this mama tore it up plus she had a cold...got dam sing that shit Stephanie

    It makes me remember gramps too....when she says my friends smiling down on me except that was my sweetie

  • Comment removed

  • The only reason why Stephanie Mills will never get her due recognition or honor from this industry is because she refuses to sell out or sell herself over to the powers that be -- plain and simple. There are singers who can't come close to her presence, power, or performance on stage who are being acknowledged year in and year out. If you sell your soul over to those in power, success is a guarantee.

  • @drltwII I couldn't have said that any better.

  • LOVE THAT I FOUND THIS RARE PIECE ONE THAT I FOUND OUT THIS IS MY LONG LOST AUNT ON MY FATHER SIDE OF MY FAMILY ,,LOVE YOU AUNTIE ,FAMILY ALWAYS I KNOW I MIGHT NEVER MEET HER BUT TO KNOW SHE IS RELATED TO ME JUST BRINGS ME TO TEARTS THAT MY GIRL ,,,LOVE YOU MS MILLS

  • ITS TIME FOR HER LIFETIME ACHIEVMENT AWARD! COME ON BET

  • @ferbieboi  Thanks, What a great Idea!!

  • She's coming to Baltimore this saturday with Frankie Beverly and Maze. It's gettin ready to be some jammin at Pier six!!!

  • @ed710 I saw her perform in Detroit four years ago along with the O'Jays. Seeing her perform in concert is going to a revival at church. It's part concert, part church. You lose yourself in her songs and the emotion she puts out there is so real that it makes you wanna put some of it in a bottle and shake it up!

  • @mcneal78 You got That Right!!!! Chills Baby!!!!

  • amazing...how come we don't hear from her anymore?

  • This was absolutely the best...the Holy Spirit got on her this time ...Stephanie Mills got IT for real...I love her...

  • Gosh i can't get enough of this video or stephanie's voice

  • Word of advice? Don't go home broke. I did once, even moms lit into my ass. Lesson learned.

  • Plus she had a cold this evening and considered not going on.

  • Everyday this week i have got on the computer and watched this video ... this is one of those songs where u can't help but sing along :D

  • She's an exceptional talent no one male or female has anything on this Diva. Love her and this song WOW ! Peace

  • SO MUCH BETTER THAN DIANA ROSS'S VERSION...please re-release this.

  • anytime im not feelinit or having a bad day , I put on this video, and dammit man if I dont feel better right now if not soooner. HBO should be ashamed of there selves for not releasing all of the summer jams. its a damn shame like stephanie says, when I think about it !!!!

  • Nobody can sing this like her! NOBODY!!!!
