“Rainbow on the Green” is part of Houston’s LGBT Pride Celebration held at Discovery Green on Friday night (June 22). The event ushered in disco diva Thelma Houston to perform her 1977 hit “Don’t Leave Me This Way”, among other tunes.

Hosted by local talent Tye Blue, festivities included “appearances” by Adele, and Beyoncé impersonator Tyonce’ Moore, as well as loving tributes to the late Whitney Houston and Donna Summer.

After performing her signature disco-soul classic, Ms. Houston shared her newest single “Gliding on Love” – a thumping electro-club jam that’s now available on iTunes.
