If I'm With A Man I'm Soft

I Have Never Gotten Into The Label Thing.

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.

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 Have Three Girls, And I Say The Same Thing To Them. I'm Not Involved In Their Careers Because I've Learned That It's Important For Them To Stand On Their Own Two Feet. They'll Feel Better And Prouder Of Themselves If They Do.

My Children Come First And The Career Comes In Around That.
