This song is total emotional fire. Yep!❤

[@hittheroadentertainment2022]

She does have a soulful feel - she did this song in one take- just unbelievable! She can still sing this song with her clear strong voice and will make you cry every time you hear her sing it.....

[@CRobb-ql4zp]

This song was shelved for 2 years before radio stations got it in November of 1975, because her label, Malaco Records, didn't think it was good enough. When they went bankrupt, they decided to release it. The song was a charting success. It reached *#2* _on R&B singles_ *#14* _on Adult Contemporary_ *#3* _on Billboard Hot 100_ _Top _*_10_*_ in the U.K., Canada, Australia, & New Zealand._ And to top it off the song was nominated for _Best Female R&B Vocal Performance & Best Rhythm & Blues Song at the_ *19th Annual Grammy Awards.* The success helped keep Malaco Records afloat. She released her debut album "Misty Blue" in 1976. It reached *#10* _on Billboard R&B albums chart &_ *#29* _on Billboard 200._

Dorothy did this song in one take- just unbelievable! When Malaco finally released it they put it on the B side of the record but it did NOT stay B-side. The story goes that she did save Malaco from bankruptcy. It continues to stay in the top 10 i-Tunes Blues Charts in the UK. She can still sing this song with her clear strong voice and will make you cry every time you hear sing it.....

​​@@gabrielmcdonnell8699You're welcome. I've always loved this song. I'm a SYTYCD fan and I just loved the routine Sasha & (tWitch🕊) did to this song. It just tattooed this song further into my heart.

[@gabrielmcdonnell8699]

@@CRobb-ql4zp RIP, ‘twitch! I don’t recall that routine but I was also a SYTYCD fan (the early days). I keep tabs on some of the alumni (Allison, Ivan, Tony Bellissimo, etc) following them on IG.

❤ I remember really loving this song after seeing the performance by tWitch and Sasha on So You Think You Can Dance. Still my favorite routine of all time from that show!

[@hittheroadentertainment2022]

Dorothy loved seeing that dance performance to her song!

[@lingoman1]

One of my favorite songs and artist. Good grinding song.

[@lydmarl.475]

You should listen to this other soul lady Linda Jones “For your precious Love”. You would be amazed by her vocals!

[@joyceedwards2708]

Don’t forget “Hypnotized and I’ll be sweeter”.

[@dianefiske-foy4717]

You aughta check out the actual LIVE 1976 version of Dorothy singing “Misty Blue”. It’s great!

[@tiffanydeveaux9777]

😊

[@kevinniles8781]

I used to think this was Gladys Knight until I learned the truth. Great song.

[@hittheroadentertainment2022]

It has been Dorothy's song since 1975 when she recorded it - she recorded it in one take! Malaco put it on the shelf for a year before they released it. She decided to add the hum on the beginning before they released it. Then they released it as the B side of the record........but it did not stay as the B side. She can still sing this song just as strong and as beautiful as ever!

[@ephanieeStay]

@JackReacts904 you should react to Monica's cover of this song

[@ellengrace4647]
