Quote

Motown was about music for all people - white and black, blue and green, cops and the robbers. I was reluctant to have our music alienate anyone.

I don't ever balk at being considered a Motown person, because Motown is the greatest musical event that ever happened in the history of music.

Motown will always be a heavy-duty part of my life because those are my roots.

When we were first started we were doing a lot of Motown stuff, but actually playing it more in a rock way. Everybody in the band sang and we did a lot of harmonies.

Motown was the mecca. It was every writer's dream to work there.

Once you're a Motown artist, you're always a Motown artist.

I grew up not far from where Motown was founded, maybe 300 miles from Detroit and I've always liked - I used to like the way they made records. I still do, I just haven't had a chance to hear as much. They used to entertain me.

I left Motown because of the regime of people who were there.

I grew up listening to oldies, like Motown. That's from my mom.

Once you're a Motown artist, that's your stigmatism, and I was there from the very first day.
