"The female singer who wants to be gruff and convincing, she will tend to go ahead and do that quicker than a male singer will soften up and become sensitive. That's society, that's rearing, that's the package. I refuse to buy into that."
-- Luther Vandross, (1951-2005), as told to Richard Harrington , The Washington Post.
