It is also sometimes a surname. Notable people with this name include the following:
Braxton has been recognized for her distinctive contralto voice. [125] [126] Her voice has been called "husky, sultry, elegant and sexy." [127] Due to the huskiness of her voice, Braxton often used male singers such as Michael McDonald, Luther Vandross and Stevie Wonder as vocal style models. [2] Chaka Khan and Anita Baker were two of the few female singers that she could stylize. Steve Huey of AllMusic cites a key to Braxton's success is the versatility of her voice, which he states as being "soulful enough for R&B audiences, but smooth enough for adult contemporary; sophisticated enough for adults, but sultry enough for younger listeners; strong enough in the face of heartbreak to appeal to women, but ravishing enough to nab the fellas." [2] In 2023, Rolling Stone ranked Braxton at No. 48 on their list of the 200 Greatest Singers of All Time. [128] When Toni died, no funeral was held. Instead, her body was handed over to Smith and her colleagues. In July this year, once the medical work was done, Toni was returned to her coffin and onwards to her family. “In some ways,” Jason reflects, “the grieving was paused while the research process happened. We kept talking about Toni going to places, doing things, it was as if she was still with us.” In August, the family held a small cremation service.

So when Toni had mentioned, nonchalantly, that she wanted to donate her body to science, it came as little surprise to Jo and Jason. “She came out of the kitchen with a pile of forms,” Jo explains, “and told us that was her plan. She’d printed them all out, signed them and asked us to be her witness. To her, it was simple.”Kintner, Thomas (March 24, 2012). "Concert Review: Toni Braxton's Sultry Delivery Scores At Foxwoods".

Public reaction to these events was very harsh, having been expressed most clearly in an interview on The Oprah Winfrey Show. [33] Ney, Angela Winter (February 6, 1994).
