I will carry to my death the image of Thelma Houston rapturously dancing to “Don’t Leave Me This Way.” She went over to Keoki afterwards to thank him, just amazed that he had it – and, bless him, he said it was a favorite crowd-pleaser and he ALWAYS played it. And she was SO HAPPY. Isn’t that a wonderful story? (Photo by Thairin Smothers)
