Okay, maybe not Stephanie directly, but The Best of Stephanie Mills is one of the first CDs I ever purchased once I decided to pursue collecting the whole chart. That has 15 songs on it of which three are “mixes.” Stephanie had 22 songs on the R&B charts in the decade, so clearly I’d need more. It took a while, but this made me realize why I needed to collect the original albums rather than greatest hits collections. By the time I bought the albums to get the songs that weren’t on the hits record, I owned all but two of the songs on the CD anyway, so that became a pretty useless disc. So I have Stephanie Mills to thank for the 3,000-plus LPs that fill up my entire spare bedroom. [...] [...] Stephanie Mills is really the person that shaped my collection into what it is today.
