When Madonna & Gloria were kinda neighbours in Miami they used to visit each other once and again, to have a talk and let the girls (Emily & Lourdes) play together
The lines from "Coming Out Of The Dark" came to Emilio's mind when he sat in the helicopter on their way to the hospital, after the accident! When they flew through the clouds, suddenly the sun bursted out and it really was like coming out of the dark...
The Estefan's home in Miami is furnished in white and cream-shades (Emilios fav colors!)
Gloria performed at the 1999 Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation's Grand Slam for Children together with the members of the gospel group PsychoVangelist, Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder, Elton John and LeeAnn Rimes
