#Aretha: you're the reason why I'm a singer today. When Amazing Grace came out, it was the first time I saw a black woman on an album cover. Aretha is sitting on the steps of a church, in front of an open doorway, and she’s wearing a beautiful African dress the color of burnt sienna lined in pink. Just seeing an American singer wearing an African dress had a huge impact on me. She’s looking right at the camera, giving a soft smile, and her eyes, they are so serene. everything about the photo—the stairs leading to the open door, her open arms—suggests pathways and possibilities.

You would be 100 years old today and we need your strength, determination and wisdom more than ever! #nelsonmandela #mandela100 @beyonce @youssoundour1959 Today, it is with infinite sadness that I telling you that my older brother Oscar Kidjo has left us after a long illness. He was a great musician and a great producer and all of his life he supported me tirelessly. I made my debut with him. He helped me compose my first songs. With him I learned the rigour and discipline you have to have when you want to be a musician. He was the one who showed me the importance of knowing with passion your own roots and being proud of them. He was very loved and respected by the musicians of Benin and elsewhere. Oscar, I know you're gonna keep watching over me from where you are. I love you and my thoughts go to your wife and your children and to the whole family.
