I have a memory of Jessye Norman singing Swing Low Sweet Chariot on television many years ago and she was even better!

If I were God, I would love to be praised like this - rather than by means of those boring songs I was taught in Sunday School.

I went to school with her brother, a really nice guy. I was sad to hear that she had become a diva to the point that she made enemies. I'd always imagined she would have been nice like he was. And I guess she was to her admirers, just not to her coworkers. I guess fame and money sometimes goes to people's heads and don't always build the kind of character we need. We all have our trials. Her voice is beautiful, though.
