Sorry, Tom, but Kim is hardly a fantastic singer.  Her voice is very thin and reedy and her delivery and stage presence suck.  She'd be great for funerals, I guess.  Or wan, wistful songs of longing and weakness.

I agree, although this might partly be due to the fact that she was up there belting out songs to a big auditorium.  Her voice might have been more suited to "quieter" songs.  I always had the feeling she was about to lose her voice, and it was, as you say, way too "thin" to be doing the kind of singing she did.  I thought there were other premies who were much better singers, and I frankly couldn't figure out why One Foundation became the official cult band.

I remember they got sent to Miami and did nothing but rehearse, I guess.  They were always around, not doing  much of anything.  And then when they performed, it was pretty mediocre.    All of the other musicians had to just do it as a side gig, but OF became "official."

Remember "Tunnel of Love?"  What a barf bag that was.  And the reggae stuff really sucked.

I do think Suzie Bai had a great voice, though, although it was suited to ballads and jazz singing.
