    I remember she had a special on television years ago. Always wondered what became of her. She was so beautiful and talented. She never became a superstar, but she impressed me so much I've never forgotten her from decades ago. She was filled with energy. Very underated.

      At one point she was the highest paid female entertainer in Vegas. In the 70s she made $100,000 a week, 20 weeks a year and was a major tourist attraction.

      I love Ms. Baker, but she could only dream of having Lola's energy. While Lola could only dream of having Anita's voice. I see similar hair cuts, skin tone, maybe eyes a little, that's about it. I would never mistake the two.

    This woman is a worship leader from a down-home church somewhere. You could see it in her approach to performance. she was certainly drop-dead-gorgeous --that didn't hurt, but it was that approach to performance that was responsible for her stardom, I think.

    so different than Irene's performance, maybe the powers that own the song took it away from Irene,- its funny i thought she was precursor to Irene, Both having Cuban blood, actresses, singers and dancers, Lola moved her hips so much more sexual

      C Hunter how you carry your outward appearance my dear sweet child is very important because if you are representing our Holy Father who demands holiness and obedience then you may want to check your self because if a prostitute want to catch a man he or she will dress that way on the streets or in your false church building that doesn’t belong to Jesus Christ at .. if anyone is use deity to address themselves then it’s about them .. Jesus Christ did not use titles when he walked the dirty earth he just done what he had to do .... anyone using titles is a false period ... that’s the world ..
