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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

My dad liked a lot of Motown, but I didn't listen to it until my teenage years.

I grew up when the whole Motown thing was huge. The charts in those days were dominated by groups more than solo artists at one point.

I honed in on a great time, the Motown era, the '60s and '70s. That type of music has always been a staple in my life.

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