Gloria Estefan Quotes:
Ocupation: Singer-songwriter
Life: b. September 1, 1957
Birthday: September 1
The reason I’m not more political is because I have music. And from a young age, I needed it. After prison, my father came to America, joined the Army, fought in Vietnam - and was exposed to Agent Orange. He died a slow, horrible death. Music was my escape.
