- "Oh Grandma, oh Grandma"
—Dianne Reeves
Music Gamble's grandmother Millie (portrayed by Mary Kay Place in the film Music) lived with her in a modest New York City apartment, and made an effort to help the young autistic girl have as normal a life as possible. To do this, she welcomed the help of other people from the neighbourhood, such as Ebo Odom. Though she seemed healthy and lively for her age, Millie suffered a stroke one morning that caused her to suddenly die. This forced her eldest granddaughter Zu to come and deal with Music's uncertain situation.
