LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) — Gregg Martinez, the soul-singing bus driver from Opelousas, has enjoyed some high-profile fans in his 42 years in music. In the 1980s, one woman couldn't stop clapping and smiling during a casino show in Atlantic City, NJ.

She turned out to be the owner's wife — Ivana Trump. Martinez received a four-year contract to perform exclusively at the casino.
