Meet Gabourey Sidibe's Mom -- 'Alice Ridley'

If  you're ever ridden the subway in New York City , there's a good chance you knew of Alice Ridley   long before  she became known solely as "Gabourey Sidibe's mom" after her daughter wowed audiences with her explosive Oscar-nominated turn in 'Precious.'

Although she's Gabourey's biggest  supporter , Ridley is a star in her own right , and she's slowly taking the world by stoem with her irrepressible  undeniable voice.

In her more than 20 years as a performer , Ridley has gained a loyal fan base with renditions of classics  like  Tina Turner's  "What's Love Got  To Do With It'," and Whitney Houston's "Greatest Love Of All."

One of New York City's best kept secrets was let out when Ridley appeared  on 'America's Got Talent' and revealed her awe-inspiring voice to the rest of the nation.

The beaming songstress  visited PopEater to talk about her 'superstar' daughter who she'd love to perform with and so proud  of Gabby for keeping her priorities straight  and  her moral values intact.  Ridley says about the future of her musical career  I'm out to woo the hearts of the world .

My take : If you're ever in New York City...I will meet you in the  'subway' see you there .
