Program Description

Beth Deare interviews the great blues and gospel singer Linda Hopkins. Hopkins gives one of her dynamic performances at the Boston Cabaret Theatre with a surprise cameo appearance by Tom Sullivan. Highlights include many of Hopkins' life experiences as a vocal artist, with reference to her essential values: practicing her religion, acting as godmother to the "special people" in her life, celebrating her love for Boston, and seeking out and grooming new talent – as she did with Gladys Knight and the Pips.
