Triple Threat Queens: Debbie Allen, Phylicia Rashad & Sheryl Lee Ralph’s Musical Legacy


Listen Later

In this electrifying episode of Queue Points, DJ Sir Daniel and Jay Ray drop the needle on the musical legacies of three legendary Black women who dominated stage, screen, and sound—Debbie Allen, Phylicia Rashad, and Sheryl Lee Ralph.

Did you know these powerhouse performers also pursued music careers? From Debbie Allen’s Special Look album, which could have been a hit if released just a year earlier, to Phylicia Rashad’s disco-infused Josephine Superstar, and Sheryl Lee Ralph’s club anthem In The Evening, these women proved they were more than just icons in acting.

Join us as we break down their impact, celebrate their versatility, and reminisce about the Broadway-to-Billboard moments that often get overlooked. Expect laughter, deep musical knowledge, and a celebration of the Black women who paved the way for today’s multi-talented artists.

🎶 5, 6, 7, 8… It’s time to pay in sweat!
