Peabo Bryson, as his background vocalist. In the early 90’s she began performing locally once again.

Jeanette’s singing career had been plagued with substance and alcohol abuse. She would not realize this to be a problem until it had become too late…with the abuse of crack cocaine. Jeanette’s husband prayed fervently for her “the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” (James 5:16). As a result of prayer and attending a drug ministry at her church, she became victorious, but not without a price. “Sin is pleasurable, for a season” (Heb. 11:25). Nevertheless, “what the devil meant for evil, God has turned it around for her good”. “I know the thoughts I think towards you, thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you an expected end (Jeremiah 29:11).
