My current love-fest for Heather Small may have been sparked by the lovingly way she is celebrated throughout the BBS series ‘Miranda’, but my appreciation for her powerhouse vocals goes way back to the 90’s, when I was young gay guy coming of age just as her work in M People left such indelible anthems as ‘Moving On Up’ and ‘Open Your Heart’. They formed the backdrop to a few heady retail years in Boston – which I still remember fondly. Her hit song ‘Proud’ took her further into world domination, and is always worth a listen. She earns her first Dazzler of the Day honor with this post.
