All I wanted to do was write songs, but all the things I wrote in Detroit, they put them out by different artists.

People know me for up-tempo songs because of my hits.

It's a natural fit. These are not replacements for people buying individual songs or albums. But they're great for well-established artists with a fan base behind them that wants more product.

Everybody had their fans and they were fans of all of them.

Oh yeah, I know Johnnie Bassett. We were part of that whole thing.

The groups, though, were my inspiration way back then. I liked Frankie Lyman and the Teenagers.
