British soul singer Beverley Knight has revealed the music that shaped her life—including the surprising song she wants played at her funeral. In a candid interview, the singer shared stories from her personal playlist. Knight says her first musical love was gospel singer Sam Cooke. As a child, she was hypnotized by his song "Jesus Gave Me Water." Her first purchased single was Chaka Khan's "I Feel for You." Knight says she begged her parents to buy it from a store in Wolverhampton after finishing her chores. Knight also admits to being a karaoke show-off. She loves a classic Spice Girls hit. But she has one unusual final request: a specific song by a "diminutive pop sexpot" for her funeral. The full interview reveals more about the songs she loves, and the ones her dog hates.
