There weren't any white people in this country who didn't know who Gladys Knight was. Or the Pips were, as far as that's concerned.
She and Celine Dion are my two favorite people in the entire world. I feel similar ways about Celine. I love her energy. I love being around her.
I never want to fake it. That's my whole thing.
Being at Windham Hill now has made me more appreciative of the people who still believe in the things that I believe in, that are a part of me.
