At that time, McDonald's held a contest with children from large cities. I was allowed to sing "Accept the Grace of God" at The show Showtime at the Apollo. And the public was extremely supportive. Stevie Wonder sang her part at the birthday of her son at the age of 13. Sullivan was 15 when she first got signed by Jive Records. In the age group of 15, she was signed to Jive Records. She made an entire album in Jive Records but it didn't get released. Sullivan was later dropped on the labels.
