...yearned for her classical roots. "One of the hassles of being a black female musician," she says, "is that people are always backing you into a corner and telling you to sing soul. I'm a serious artist. I feel a kinship with people like Arthur Rubinstein and Glenn Gould. If I can't play Bartok when I want to play...
