Alicia Keys

Alicia Keys is one of my most favorite singers. She has a quality to her voice that is outstanding. It wasn’t until I saw an episode of “Iconoclasts” that I really developed a great appreciation for the personal side of her life. She and Ruby Dee were paired together and the love, respect and appreciation for each other’s creative talent exuded on the screen. Alicia and Ruby walk together through Harlem and we see pictures of Ruby Dee in the beginning of her career, on stage at a repertoire theater. She is about sixteen years old. Then we enter a theater that was built by Alicia Keys which was used for up and coming performers. It was inspiring to hear how Alicia with her humble beginnings was able to focus on her career and make it all the way to the top.
