  • "Finally" by CeCe Peniston

    "Finally" by CeCe Peniston
    Jan 9 2025
    We’ve finally hit 250 episodes, so what better time to talk about CeCe Peniston’s unforgettable 1991 dance anthem, “Finally”? While some may argue this is a controversial pick—Peniston did have a few other Top 20 hits—her name often lands on lists of ‘90s one-hit wonders. How did this powerhouse vocalist, whose talent and charisma were undeniable, end up with her career so tightly associated with just one song? In this episode, we dive into CeCe’s career, explore the enduring legacy of “Finally,” and uncover why her other successes were quickly overshadowed by this timeless classic.
