Dionne related to Leontyne Price?

[jmac123]

is this true? I heard there cousins and on which side is Ms. Price related? also related to Whitney and Cissy?

I'm not saying that it's not true, but in all the years I've read stuff about Dionne, I've never come across the fact that they were related. I should think that I would have known about it though.

If you google both names together, an interview with DW from the early 90s comes up. In it Dionne says:

"There are lots of people out there I would love to work with," she says, rattling off names such as Earth Wind and Fire, Frank Sinatra and Roberta Flack, "I'd love to do something with my cousin Leontyne Price. And I really want to do something with Quincy Jones, but his schedule is like mine."
