BTW: Where has Thelma Houston been all these years? Simple, the "Don't Leave Me This Way" singer tells P&P, "I have been working steadily for all these years and just not feeling the mood to record until now 'cause I wanted to come out with something GREAT!!!!"

Which begs another question: Why don't they make classics like that 1977 No. 1 smash anymore? "I think that 'DLMTW' was very melodic," Houston says, "and I think that the quality of music has changed, which proves that songs like 'DLMTW' have longevity."
