...because Red Don just had to claim she "worked for him." So obviously all those other entertainers must have "worked for him" too. The Mad King is an idiot and everything is all about him.

He was supposed to sing "Nessun Dorma" (from Puccini's Turandot) at the Grammies that year but had to cancel last minute due to ill health. Sister 'Reatha stepped in and sang it. O M G. It is a notoriously difficult song due to the upper register notes. She had little time to prepare - like less than 24 hours - but she walked out on that stage and NAILED IT TO THE FLOOR. Check Google for it.

Now THAT is what a DIVA does.
