Most of the groups I worked with 30 years ago are either dead or dead broke. And it's a shame.

I just want to get on stage and sing and be happy.

I love the fact that 35 years later, I still hear my songs on the radio.

I used to cry myself to sleep every night. I missed singing so much. And performing. Man, I missed it so much.

We had the skirts with the slits up the side, sort of tough, sort of Spanish Harlem cool, but sweet too.

I mean, Janet Jackson? She's like Michael Jackson with hair.

I look around me and I don’t see any rock’n’roll at the moment. Instead it’s all choreography and stylists and wigs and stuff. It’s like they’re afraid to let the music breathe. No one has their own identity like the Ronettes did back in the day. We had the skirts with the slits up the side, sort of tough, sort of Spanish Harlem cool, but sweet too. We didn’t have no dancers, we didn’t have no goddamn wigs.
