Hopkins fell in love with Blues music after seeing Bessie Smith perform. She has starred in Broadway musicals such as Jazz Train, Black and Blue, and Inner City, for which she won a Tony Award. Hopkins also created two famous tribute musicals; Wild Women Blues was performed alongside Maxine Weldon & Mortonette Jackson as a tribute to Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Bessie Smith, and more famously her one-woman show, entitled Me and Bessie, which she created in honor of her idol Bessie Smith.

Besides Broadway musicals, Hopkins is also a popular face at Jazz festivals, as well as acting for TV and films. Having performed for three United States Presidents, she won accolades for not only her voice but her impeccable acting abilities. With a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Hopkins has been recognized as a versatile entertainer, as well as one of the premiere voices of her generation despite never receiving the household name-recognition worthy of one of the world's great talents.
