Initially a beauty queen, with the title of Miss Black Arizona in 1989, Ce Ce
Peniston became a typical dance diva of the early 1990s, in the tradition of
Crystal Waters. Her song "Finally " was one of the major hits of 1991, reaching
No. 5 on the Billboard charts and No. 1 on the dance sales chart. her second
hit, "We Got a Love Thang ", also appeared on the 1992 album Finally. Her
subsequent albums were largely anecdotal, Ce Ce Peniston never regaining the
aura of "Finally", of which she recorded an updated version in 2008.
