Hair Has Always Been Important.

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.

I'm A Parent, And I Try To Take Care Of My Health And Keep My Life In Order. In The Last Few Years I've Really Had To Decide What's Important To Me, And It Seems To Me That My Family And My Health Are Top On The List. And Those Have Nothing To Do With Show Business.

I Would Like To Enjoy My Life A Little Bit More So I Can Really Have More Fun, But My Work Is My Fun.

It's Not Fair That Our Name Can Be Used In Any Newspaper, Any Article Connected With Anything, And We Can't Really Fight About It.

I'm From A Singing Family, But They're Not Professional Singers, Only Gospel - My Grandfather Was A Minister. I Started To Sing The Music That Was Out Then Because My Mother Used To Play It All The Time. It Was The End Of The '50s, The Beginning Of The '60s. There Was Frankie Lyman And The Teenagers, Etta James... We Used To Sit Outside On The Stoop And Sing. We Even Used To Put Our Radios And Record Players Outside.
