" Nina, Nina, Ninaâ¦.Lord have Mercy! Did you hear that girl's pipes!? I'm afraid of that Lady!
(PATTI LaBELLE to her back-up singers after calling Nina onstage at Ceasar's, Atlantic City. Nina sang "At Last" a'capella â and brought the house down. Then to Nina, Patti continued:) "I'm not going to lie to you, it's a hard life. But you? You, Miss Nina, do not let anybody or anything get in your way!"

"I've produced over a dozen Broadway and off-Broadway musical productions and have been a League member and Tony-voter for 10 years. I see great talent every day and I can state with complete conviction that Nina is such a talent."
