Stephanie’s musical journey began at an early age, when she began singing gospel music at Brooklyn’s Cornerstone Baptist Church. At the age of nine, her musical prowess led her to the stage in Broadway shows, where she landed a role in “Maggie Flynn.” She won a competition at the Apollo Theater two years later, which led to her being the opening act for the Isley Brothers. Mills joined with Paramount Records in 1973 to record a song, and later went to Motown, where she released a couple of failed albums before being let go by the label.

Her big break came in the 1970s, when she was cast in “The Wiz,” a Broadway musical that was an African-American adaptation of “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.” She became known for the smash song “Home,” which helped propel her career in music ahead. She secured a recording contract with 20th Century Fox Records and specialized on disco music. She first published the album “Whatcha’ Gonna Do with My Lovin’,” which went gold, followed by “Sweet Sensation,” which had a few successes including “Never Knew Love Like This Before.” She released “Stephanie” the next year, followed by “Merciless” two years later, which featured the hit song “Pilot Error” and a rendition of Prince’s “How Come You Don’t Call Me Anymore?” She returned for a disappointingly short-lived revival tour of “The Wiz.”

Mills signed with MCA Records in 1987 and created the platinum-selling “If I Were Your Woman,” which featured a number of hit tracks. Her next album, “Home,” was another platinum seller, released in 1989. Her contract with MCA lasted until 1992, when she was finally let go. She tried again after MCA to go on a tour of “The Wiz,” but it was short-lived. She went on to release a couple more songs and albums after that, as well as performing at numerous shows and events. Stephanie was recently hired as Aunt Em in the NBC version of “The Wiz,” marking the 40th anniversary of her initial appearance in the show.

Stephanie was married to musician Jeffrey Daniel for two years in the 1980s and then to Dino Meminger in the late 1980s in her personal life. She married Michael Saunders, a radio program manager, in 1993, but the marriage only lasted two years. Mills also has a son who was recently diagnosed with Down Syndrome.
