I've Never Been Damaged Or Hurt By

The Only Recording Studio Was In Motown - It Was Called Tamla/motown At That Time And We Used To Audition There Because Smokey Robinson Was At That Studio And Berry Gordy Was The President. I Remember Asking Smokey To Listen To My Group And He Did. For The First Couple Of Years We Were Just Singing Background. We Used To Back Up Marvin Gaye; Mary Wells Was There Then, Marv Johnson, The Marvelettes, Martha Reeves And The Vandellas, Junior Walker And The All-stars.

If I'm With A Man I'm Soft And Buttery.

My Father Worked Hard, But We Were Still Very Poor; And I Didn't Want Anybody Arguing About Money, So I Became The Entertainer, The One Who Wanted Everyone To Be Happy. I Didn't Want There To Be Any Problems.

I Really Don't Think That Detroit Was Any Different Than New York Of Boston Or Philadelphia. Kids Always Wanted To Listen To Music Outside Because That's Where They Hung Out With Their Friends.

I Have Never Gotten Into The Label Thing.
