I Was Brought Up In This Part

It's Not Fair That Our Name Can Be Used In Any Newspaper, Any Article Connected With Anything, And We Can't Really Fight About It. It's Like Any Newspaper That Might Take A Picture Of You, Bad Or Good, And Sometimes They're Awful Pictures, And They Can Use Them Without Your Approval And You Can't Do Anything About It.

Criticism, Even When You Try To Ignore It, Can Hurt. I Have Cried Over Many Articles Written About Me, But I Move On And I Don't Hold On To That.

The Only Recording Studio Was In Motown - It Was Called Tamla/motown At That Time And We Used To Audition There Because Smokey Robinson Was At That Studio And Berry Gordy Was The President. I Remember Asking Smokey To Listen To My Group And He Did. For The First Couple Of Years We Were Just Singing Background. We Used To Back Up Marvin Gaye; Mary Wells Was There Then, Marv Johnson, The Marvelettes, Martha Reeves And The Vandellas, Junior Walker And The All-stars.

I Lived On The North Side Of Detroit. Right Down The Street From Me There Was A Young Man By The Name Of Smokey Robinson. I Was Very Proud To Live Down The Street From Him Because He Was Our Only Celebrity In Town. He Was Singing With The Miracles.

I'm Crazy About Diane Von Furstenberg. It's A Relationship That's Very Different; I Don't See Diane A Lot. So When I Saw The Article In New York Magazine She Looked So Beautiful And It Was Talking About Her Work, Too. She Set Up The Interview And It Was Happening. That's Different Than Someone Writing A Book About You Who You've Never Met.
