I was signed to MGM. I was in Vegas for sixteen weeks at the Sands Hotel.

I didn't do the marching down the streets, jumping in front of the lines and holding hands... that wasn't me.

I didn't need to borrow money from the record company, because if I had my own publishing company, and I had my own writers, I'd have enough to get and do whatever I wanted to do.

I want to be a soul singer.

The secret was to just be cool, stay in God's graces, and work it out.

I don't need to make a fortune, I need to survive.
