After making her Broadway debut in The Wiz, Chicago-born R&B vocalist Ada Dyer went on to work with Sting, Roberta Flack, Lenny Kravitz, Cher, the J. Geils Band, Boz Scaggs, Michael Bolton and Luther Vandross.

"Anyone who appreciates a truly soulful voice singing meaningful songs should do whatever it takes to get this." - Justin Kantor on All Music
