"I'm Your Baby Tonight" became her 8th #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and also #1 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. On the UK Singles Chart it reached #5. The entire album debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 and was #1 on the Top R&B Albums.

Kym Whitley shares how getting into the audience of '227' got her noticed by Marla Gibbs and led to work as Jackée Harry’s double.
