A savvy businesswoman as well, she has been a spokesperson for companies such as Gillette (for hair product Lustrasilk) and Colbert’s women’s clothing store, familiar throughout the South. She also travels on her own tour bus with a five-piece band (guitar, keyboards, bass, drums, and keyboard/synthesizer).

Her album, "The Collection: Songs Of Faith, Hope & Love" (1998), was a compilation of her most requested inspirational ballads. Its liner notes included testimonies from people deeply touched by her songs, among them this emotional letter:

"I was on drugs for eleven years and had no hope in life at all. I tried to kill myself several times. I sold my body for drugs. I stole, cheated and did everything for my habit. I found my life falling apart and having nowhere to go. I had a 9mm pulled on me, but by the grace of God the bullet didn’t come out of the barrel. I heard your song on the radio, and I knew God stepped in ‘On Time.’ This will always be my song of praise."

Her songs have indeed inspired and uplifted. With a loving, down-to-earth, up-to-heaven personality, and a singing style that gets listeners up out of their seats, Peoples has been able to draw people, particularly young people, to her side. "I guess it’s because I’m quick to hug them," she says. They, in turn, have surely embraced Dottie Peoples.
