Sugar Pie DeSanto is one of the Pioneer Award winners at the Rhythm & Blues Foundation's gala at the Kimmel Center tonight. Bonnie Raitt, Dionne Warwick, Chaka Khan and Kool & the Gang, among other old school luminaries, will all be on hand. Here's an interview with Sugar Pie, a rather audacious YouTube clip from 2007, and a taste of what she and her cousin Etta James sounded like back in the day "In the Basement."
