still the 4 Gus songs do definitely show that, given the right material, she was more than just a ballad singer.

I could hear her doing Storm in my Soul and her Save Me is excellent.
I do agree, though almost any other genre of music would have been better suited to her style of voice then the dreaded disco. I still hold with the theory it was sabotage lol. The Pointer Sisters had an album out in 79 named Priority. Almost every song on it might have been perfect for Mary...
