Lee Daniels has had quite a life and music has played a significant role throughout — from his youth in the projects to a heart attack in his 30s to his recent success as the director of the highly regarded film “Precious.” He was nominated for an Academy Award for his work and shares the story behind a song used in a monumental scene in the movie, as well as personal favorites ranging from disco to gospel and even a children’s classic. Check out a really moving Guest DJ set from Lee Daniels – available streaming, for download, and as a podcast here.
