After touring with Norwood and the Rolling Stones, Peoples returned to Ohio where she developed quite a reputation as a jazz vocalist. “I sang jazz until I moved to Atlanta and joined Salem Baptist Church and started singing in services,” Dottie Remembers. “The first solo I did was called ‘If You Move Yourself.’ It changed my whole life because I stood there and realized that I was blessing people. I knew I didn’t want to sing jazz anymore. I just want to sing for the Lord. I got back to my roots and I’ve been singing gospel ever since.”
