New York's Apollo Theater will have a float for the first time with legend Gladys Night onboard singing her song "Settle" from the For Colored Girls movie soundtrack. I'm also looking forward to a performance by Columbian singer-songwriter-cutie Juanes, who will be the first person to sing in Spanish at the parade (Terra USA).
