Motown's policy was to build one act at a time or their favorites.

When The Supremes were taking off, the company, the company would pull in records so that The Supremes could go for the million.

Success to me was getting out of that contract in one piece.

My costumes were made for sex appeal not for women.

I was a black singer with a white voice, a perfect pop voice.
