Deborah Cox Delights Hometown Fans at Toronto's Pride Week Festivities

Last night, Canadian R&B Diva Deborah Cox returned to her hometown, Toronto, Ontario to perform as a special guest for Toronto's Pride Week celebrations on the TD Canada Trust Music stage located at Yonge and Wellesley Streets. She sang several of her popular hits including her most recent single, Beautiful U R, and the upbeat house version of her #1 smash hit, "Nobody's Supposed to be Here" from her Platinum-selling second album, One Wish, which dropped in 1998.

Cox also took time out to do a special tribute of "I'll Be There" to the late Michael Jackson, who suddenly passed away just two days earlier at the age of 50. In remembering Jackson, she said..."what a loss, the amazing King of Pop, you have no idea..I can't process that loss myself, because back in the day I could have sworn I was Ola Ray in Thriller. I was that girl."

First signed to Arista Records in 1995 by label executive Clive Davis, Cox has now released her latest album, The Promise, on her own independent label, Deco Recording Group. It is her first new studio album release in six years.
