Hear music from soul artist and former Broadway star Stephanie Mills. In the mid '70s, Mills was known as "the little girl with the big voice", playing Dorothy in the hit Broadway play, “The Wiz".  She produced several R&B hits including “I Have Learned to Respect the Power of Love”, “Something in the Way (You Make Me Feel)” and “Home”. She also made a splash with “Never Knew Love Like This Before", her only certified million-selling single.  She’s currently in the studio working on her latest album “Breathless” and has two concerts in NYC set for the first week of March.

Carla Eckels is Director of Organizational Culture at KMUW.

Carla was inducted into The Kansas African American Museum's Trailblazers Hall of Fame in 2020 for her work in broadcast/journalism.
