All I wanted to do was write songs, but all the things I wrote in Detroit, they put them out by different artists. |
Everybody had their fans and they were fans of all of them. |
Hey, we thought it was kinda neat, ... It was sort of an exchange thing, the way I felt. You know, with guys from England coming to the U.S. and then we began to go over there. |
I go out with my band six months of the year and the rest of them with the Blues Brothers. |
I never thought I'd get a chance to sing with Wilson Pickett but we did. |
I think we've got a good stadium now. But there's a lot of other facilities that are going to be necessary. |
I was just about 6 weeks old when we moved to Detroit. |
Knock on wood. |
Oh yeah, I know Johnnie Bassett. We were part of that whole thing. |
People know me for up-tempo songs because of my hits. |
The groups, though, were my inspiration way back then. I liked Frankie Lyman and the Teenagers. |
