"In an interview clip early in the film, Oprah asks Vandross when he knew he could sing. He answers that he decided to sing after seeing Dionne Warwick perform in 1963 in Brooklyn. I wanted to be able to affect people the way she affected me that day, he explains."
"My impression of life growing up was great. He knew something that she did not: Money is only one kind of wealth. Vandross's response encapsulates his ability to find joy and richness outside of material possessions."
