notes

With a love of music that began with roots deeply planted in gospel, Rhonda Tate has been singing since the age of three. The daughter of a Baptist preacher, Rhonda and her sisters formed "Tate Sisters" singing group in 1969, and performed in churches throughout the south and midwest. Learning their tight, three part harmonies from popular family gospel groups like "The Smith Family", (who lived next door to the Tate's), and the "Spear Family", "The Tate Sisters" were alway a popular draw.

As a member of her "Varsity Choir", and the elite "Chamber Choir" in School, Rhonda continued to develop her singing skills and won over a dozen medals for her solo and ensemble performances. After a move to Houston, Texas in 1980 Rhonda continued singing and studied with noted vocal coach Debbie Bienhorn. During this time Rhonda was performing at the Old Cole Theater sharing the bill with country music favorites such as Tommy Cash and Wanda Jackson. While living in Texas, Rhonda discovered her interests in other genres of music, and was inspired after hearing Lou Ann Barton and Angela Streli, to form her first blues band in 1990.

In 1994 Rhonda, her husband and daughter made a move to her current home in Heber Springs, Arkansas. While continuing to sing and play keyboards locally with several groups, Rhonda felt the need to share some of the voice techniques she had learned along the way, and began offering singing lessons to area students. First working from her home, and then in 2003 opening her "Dream Maker's voice and piano studio" at 1915 W. Main St., Heber Springs, Arkansas. Many of "Miss Rhonda's" star pupils have won top prizes in state wide and regional competitions.

Developing as a vocalist and pianist, Rhonda began writing songs to creatively express her emotions, and to share her thoughts on love, from a woman's perspective. Recording nine original songs for her CD including the title track "The Woman You Want," Rhonda's debut album expresses the many styles of music that reflect the wide scope of her God given talent. Enlisting top Nashville studio musicians for the project, Rhonda Engler's CD "The Woman You Want", blends her love of gospel, country, jazz, and blues into a unique, and soulful original Album.

    author: Ellie Mae Swampcritter

    I gots captured by a space creature. He took me to his rocket ship and would not let me go. Then I pulled out my ipod and turned him on to Home Is Where You Belong. It made him homesick. So he puts the yellow and green beem on me and sends me back to my tent yonder the cave under the radioactivitate antennee.

Ella tiene una tortuga rota y ella quiere tener otro. ¿Puede hacer usted una canción o dos en español para nosotros las gente de México? Queremos la manera usted enjuga su plátano congelado. Tiene pelo en ello pero nosotros lo queremos apenas lo mismo. ¿Hay algún lugar nosotros podemos esconder un escucha los árboles de sauce como ellos andan calle abajo? Tengo una canción de carne apenas para usted.

    author: Linda Lue Frostbottom

    Mmmmmmmmmm but this here girl can sing! I never heard such a voice. And the words to some of the songs bring tears to my eyes. I has to stop the car to blow my nose. This here CD should come with a hanky. I heard a rumor that this here Ronda E. is one of the daughters of Lorretta Lynn. That explains where all of the talent came from. Now you know where that voice comes from. I hope she does a duet CD with her momma one day. Rhonda E. Who's your daddy? It must have been Conway Twitty. You favor your pa.

  • If you only buy one CD this year, this is the one to buy!
    author: Elwood P. Jones

    Yo Momma! This is one great CD! I like all of the songs. Especially the one about her boyfriend taking it in the shorts from the town drunk. I also am fond of the song about her horse getting run over by the train. The way she tells about the train coming down the tracks with the light circling in on the horse always sends shivvers up my back. She makes it all sound so real. I woke up from a dream one night screaming at the horse to RUN! Yo Momma! Buy this CD!

    This CD is a pleasure to listen to. It draws the listeners mind into the feelings of the singer. This CD is proof that this artist has truly been missed by the BIG Record companies.

  • What a voice!!! This is an outstanding CD!!!
    author: Terry B.

    I bought this CD at one of Rhonda E's concerts. Every song is good! Every song is different! Rhonda E. has a style all her own. My favorite song on the CD is the title track: The Woman You Want. I have been playing this CD over and over again for six straight weeks. Please Rhonda E., if you should read this, I cannot wait for your next concert and your next CD release. This CD is a classic!!!

  • meaningful,soulful.forgiving,thoughtful,promising,and pretty damn good
    author: beth this computer sucks

    I grew up with the Beatles and Elvis. This singer has captured a whole new genre in music. It's alive and worth paying attention to as an alternative to such cutsie-babies as Britany, Jessica,and the like. Music should reflect our basic humanitarian qualities on our most basic human instincts. Rhonda has captured the heartbreak, happiness, and hope for tomorrow if not for years down the road.

  • Rhondas talent for singing is remarkable!!
    author: Sherry Core

    I love it. Her first song is just the greatest. All of her songs are really meaningful. But, the first song just really sticks out to me. I would like to hear more of her songs.
