It's a crime more people haven't heard this

"i first saw this featured in a record store three or four records, at a listening station. i gave it a spin, really enjoyed it, made a point of looking for 'that kind of music' in the future -- good enough for me to buy it years later, once the internet made it possible for me to track down the artist's name again, not to mention locate a copy of this gem. what i did not realize at the time i first heard it was that no one else seems to be making 'that kind of music.' what is it? is it soul? is it blues? is it hymnal? is it R&B? i don't know what to call it. but it's powerful stuff. sometimes i restlessly go through the cd collection wanting something to hear, yet neither rock nor jazz nor classical seems to fit the mood. turns out this was it."
New Blue's, R&B Convert...

"Never really exposed to the Blue's/ R&B scene, my friend (Ed) convinced me a year and a half ago to go out to the Music Menu, in Greek Town, Detroit, Michigan, to go and see Thornetta Davis.I sat there in awe and no words could come close to describing the emotions that her sweet and powerful voice stirred within me.So far, I have bought 3 CD's of hers to share with my friends from other states so they too, can become moved by this very talented woman.If you are ever in Detroit, check her out at the Music Menu on Wednesday nights, she will make a convert out of you too!"
Should've been a million-seller.

"Davis' music uses a lot of different infuences such as rock, blues, R and B, Gospel and pop. This Cd is all over the place. "Cry" and "The Deal" rock, "Helpless" and "You Haven't Dne Nothin' is funky, and "Sunday Morning" is Gospel. "And I Spin" is my favorite song on the CD. She has a great voice and the muscians back her up perfectly. She is a great talent and this is a very good CD."
Thornetta WAILS!

"I had the amazing pleasure of seeing Thornetta Davis live in Seattle because a friend recommended her to me. She used to sing for Big Chief, but has since gone solo with this first CD "Sunday Morning Music". The woman can absolutely rip your heart out with her voice...some tracks have a gorgeously painful longing feeling, especially "Sunset" and my favorite "And I Spin". See her live if you get a chance. Her presence and power are really affecting live. I got to meet her after the show and asked her to sign my disc, which she was happy to do. A truly gifted woman, and a dazzling disc. Great cover of Stevie Wonder's "You Haven't Done Nothin'" too. Check it out!"
Soulful and honest

"Thornetta Davis is a treasure here in Metro-Detroit, and is even better live! Sunday Morning Music is a soulful and honest journey that is as intimate as reading a personal journal. This CD is highly recommended, as well as her follow-up of live recordings that has just been released!"
