The "I Feel Good All Over" crooner's caption is a reference to Stanis's iconic character from the 1970s sitcom "Good Times," in which she played the beautiful and smart Thelma Evans.

The beloved show ran for a total of six seasons from 1974 to 1979 and it was focused on the good and bad moments of the Evans family, an African-American family living in Chicago.
