CeCe Peniston

For me, CeCe Peniston will always be tied to Finally, one of those rare songs that instantly transports you to a packed early-'90s dance floor. Five number-one hits on the US dance charts is no fluke - it marks her as a defining voice of the house era, and a former beauty queen with genuine star presence to match. There's something enviable about leaving behind even a single track that the whole world remembers and still wants to move to. To me, that kind of lasting cultural fingerprint is the highest honor a vocalist can earn, and she planted hers firmly.
