You might recognize singer Jennifer Holliday from her ’80s pop hits like “Am I Am Telling You I’m Not Going.” However, what you probably didn’t know is that Holliday never retired! Instead, the singer actually continues performing today, but now as a gospel singer. In fact, in 2018, Holliday released an album of gospel renditions of her biggest hits, entitled Fresh Takes.

Holliday also has another interesting claim to fame: she’s one of the first celebrities to undergo gastric bypass surgery to lose weight. While it’s commonplace these days, gastric bypass surgery didn’t occur regularly until the 1990s! These days, Holliday maintains a low-profile while staying fit with diet and exercise.
