This is the original version of "And I'm Telling You" by Jennifer Holiday. She's the first one to be casted as Effie White from the hit-broadway musical (turned into movie) "Dreamgirls". Haha. I've been reading about the movie and the broadway version. I've even watched the movie for..the nth time already. Well, enjoy the video. =) I'm sure a lot of you have seen Jennifer Hudson's version..so let's see how Jennifer Holiday earned her 1982 Tony Award for Best Lead Actress in a musical.
