These are people I’ve admired over the years for their artistry or sense of self purpose. Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones, Lonnie Liston Smith, Donna Summer, Lamont Dozier, Diana Ross, Lionel Richie, Earl Young and Maurice White (Earth Wind & Fire) all of whom I met in person and worked with. Samantha Depasois has one of the most beautiful souls I’ve ever witnessed. Pam Grier, Angie Dickinson and Nakadia from Thailand, amazing women. Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Bob Marley and Barry White, their songs have had me under their spell all my life. Along with Martin Luther King, Muhammed Ali, Nelson Mandela and my little angel Olivia – my life’s greatest inspirations.
