    Della Reese is unique. hide show

    I really like Della Reese. She seems to be a very nice person and she has managed to not expose herself like other black females. I will best remember her on Touch by an Angel. She was very good on the show and added an influence to others who watched the show. She also came off very natural and it seemed that she was just being herself. She was often the one with the most common sense and also had a level head. In addition to being a good actress, she was a great singer. Although she didn't have quite the success as other black female artists of her time, she was well respected by the music business. Thank you.

    Della Reese is a very wonderful person. She is loved by everyone. hide show

    Della Reese is such a loving, caring, and a very devoted person. She has a beautiful voice and she has a voice when she sings like an angel. She is a very relegious person. I loved her most in the series that was on for many years and that was Touched By An Angel. She is a wonderful actress, and when she was on Touched By An Angel she put alot of feeling in the show every week. Della Reese touched alot of hearts every week on the show. She could be funny but most of all she meant what she said. She inspired me every week, and she inspired alot of people each week when she was on the show. She also inspired alot of people around the world.
