Deborah Manning Thomas, Memphis Queen of Gospel Music, is a native Memphian, that was mentored by Gospel greats Reverend Cleophus Robinson, Oris Mays, J. Robert Bradley and Mrs. Bessie J. McKenzie. She was an original cast member of Dr. Erma L. Clantons An Evening of Soul inspiring many young African American artists and setting a standard of excellence in stage performance for all. Al Bell and the late Isaac Hayes saw her brilliance and took her on, mentoring her at Stax Records where she was employed in production and sang on a number of legendary recordings, including Wattstax at the Los Angeles Coliseum. Her film acting credits include The Firm, and Hustle & Flow. Her stage credits are many but most recently include the title role of Mahalia in the well known Hattiloo Theatre production, as her lyrical style has often been compared to the legendary singer, Mahalia Jackson. Deborah serves in leadership in Christian Education on a National level and is the proud member of Christ Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev. Dr. Gina M. Stewart. Her awards, acknowledgements, and recordings are many as she continues to captivate audiences throughout the midsouth and beyond.
