CeCe Peniston

Cecilia Veronica "CeCe" Peniston is an American born (Sep 6) singer and former beauty queen. In the early 1990s, she scored five number one hits on the US Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play. Her signature song "Finally" reached the number 5 spot on the Hot 100 and number 2 in UK charts. She must have been very very close to #1, presumably on top during the mid-week charts as seen on the ITV chart show. Peniston has performed at private engagements for Aretha Franklin's private birthday party in Detroit, Michigan, Pope John Paul II in Rome at the Vatican (as a member of the gospel band Sisters of Glory) and the 42nd President of the United States, Bill Clinton, during both of his inauguration ceremonies in Washington, D.C. She was the first foreign female entertainer to perform in post-apartheid South Africa. According to Peniston, her vocal range vacillates between "five to seven octaves".
