GORDON: You started very early, in terms of signing, singing in your dad's - I guess you lived above a church and you sang at four.

HEADLEY: And I'm like, sorry grandpa, sorry. And he's like, what? You sound like a freshwater Yankee. HEADLEY: Because he was always like - every time I called him and he's like Who's this? And I'm like, it's Heather. But I'm glad it's still in my speaking voice, because God rest his soul, my grand pappy used to call me a freshwater Yankee. And I think, for that reason, maybe it did go away with that. You know, the funny thing was that I grew up listening to, like Whitney Houston and Cece Winans, and a lot of American singers. Is that conscious or when you sing does it just go away? GORDON: When you sing, unless I suspect it's intentional, it's not there. GORDON: You can still hear some of the accent… GORDON: Let me ask you this, if it's conscious or not, when you speak… And so, it was very, very different for me when we came in, but it all worked out in the end. And you get, you know, you still get paddled and stuff like that. HEADLEY: And you stand up when the teacher comes in the room, and you say, yes, miss and yes, sir. You know, in Trinidad, we just have different way of school, of schooling, you know. And so it was quite a shock for me when January turned around, and you know, it dropped to the negatives, and the teens, and it was just - it was really tough.Īnd then school was a big problem. You know, and I remember writing home and telling everybody that, I made it through the winter because there was no way it could get colder, than what it was. And it was just maybe getting to be 40 degrees. You know, needless to say, the climate was a problem, I think we came in - I know we came in October.

HEADLEY: I got slapped upside the head by Indiana. The harsh Indiana weather served as a bit of a culture shock. I found out that Headley's first view of the U.S. GORDON: The native of Trinidad, came to the United States as a girl. HEADLEY: My aim is to bridge Broadway and the R&B world and to bring all my Broadway experience to the R&B world and one day, when I go back to Broadway, to bring some R&B to that. She's now on tour riding the success of her second CD, In My Mind. The star of Aida and The Lion King, is also doing pretty well in the R&B world. Heather Headley won a Tony award for her work on Broadway. HEADLEY: (singing) I've been calling out to you…īACKUP SINGERS: (singing) Calling out to you… HEATHER HEADLEY (Broadway Actress and R&B Singer): (singing) Wait a minute…
