See main page for an introduction to The Fabulous Four and Fantastic Five.
I did thorough research accumulating ads and clippings for that page, and
along the way also grabbed those that featured just some of the group's
members. So, for example this page will definitely not feature every billing
where Hot Chocolate appeared, but I wanted to share what I found. These are
by no means all of them. And especially for her residence in Las Vegas
(since 1986) see the Facebook pages...there's no way one could keep up with
her stellar career.
