Who was the inspiration for "The Ride"?

About "The Ride"- the notes from The Crystal Ball say:

"The version from The Sacrifice of Victor is a bit more riveting, only because of it's inspiration being present at the concert. She knows who she is."

Well, who is she?
"New Power slide...."

my vote's for Mavis Staples!


I always assumed it was Carmen or Mayte. Or was that too late for Carmen. Saw that tour (couldn't get tix for that aftershow) but it's all gone a bit hazy now...

I would also think it was Mayte, but the CB version sounds identical 2 the version from the VH-1 "Love 4 one Another" TV special and Mayte was there.

hmmm
