Description

Gloria Estefan sits down with Dini Petty in May 1996 at the hinge of her whole life: six years past the tour bus crash that nearly killed her, a new mother after doctors said she never would be, and weeks from handing the world an Olympic anthem. She explains where the songs came from — clawing her way back onto a stage, she says, felt “like winning a gold medal,” the exact feeling she’d just poured into “Reach.” She also talks about fleeing Cuba, her father, and Emily, the daughter she wrote a song for. With Carla Collins on The Dini Petty Show.
