Toni Michele Braxton, this ain't just your average singer, see? We're talkin' about a woman who's climbed the ladder, rung every bell, and snagged more awards than you can shake a stick at! Seven Grammys? NINE Billboard Music Awards?

Started out with her sisters, The Braxtons, a sweet little R&B act... but LA Reid and Babyface, those cats knew what was up! Saw the star power in Toni and snatched her up for LaFace Records! BAM! 1993, the self-titled debut hits like a ton of bricks! Number ONE on the Billboard 200! "Another Sad Love Song," "Breathe Again"... tunes that just *ooze* heartbreak and raw emotion! You couldn't escape 'em, and frankly, you didn't WANT to!

But hold on tight, 'cause the Toni Braxton rollercoaster ain't stoppin' there! She followed it up with *Secrets*... And then "You're Makin' Me High," and "Un-Break My Heart" exploded. Woo! Those records went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100!

She ain't just a singer, folks, she's an ACTRESS! She's a TELEVISION PERSONALITY! She's been through the wringer, seen it all, from chart-toppers to contractual woes, and health scares.

But through it all, Toni Braxton, she comes out swinging!

From singing with Babyface to her own hit reality show, Toni's a survivor and a true performer!
So next time you're feeling a little blue, put on some Toni Braxton and let her soulful voice heal your heartache. And remember, folks, that's just the way it is!

Thank you for listening to Eagle Harp.  I’m Gail Nobles.
