Oh, oh my God.
Okay, this is so amazing.
I mean, just on so many levels, so many levels.
I'm so, when they asked me to do this,
I was like, yeah, yeah, yes, yes, yes,
before they even finished asking me.
And unfortunately they asked if I would, you know,
dig [E] into my, you know, [C] repertoire
or the women that influenced [E] me.
And I instantly thought of the one.
Now I grew up in Leavenworth, Kansas.
[Ab] It's a small town [Gm] in Kansas.
And it had one [E] radio station at the [Ab] time.
I grew up in the 60s and the 70s.
It was WHB.
It was Johnny Dolan's was the DJ.
And he would always, I would just listen
because through that radio, the music would come through
that would change my life.
The music that meant so much to me.
And I will never forget the first time,
the first day I heard her voice.
My mother was taking me to the bank,
the first national bank of Leavenworth,
you know, as they do, [Gm] get in the car and turn on the radio.
And there [Ab] it was over [N] that AM radio.
I heard a voice.
It was smooth.
_ It was soulful, powerful,
a voice that I tried to emulate
through my whole entire youth.
Absolutely.
I held my breath whenever I heard her sing.
It was Gladys Knight. _ _
Oh yes.
And I am honored, [Eb] honored tonight
to sing one of her many, many hits.
And it's neither one of us.
