Once you're a Motown artist, you're always a Motown artist
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
One thing I can say about the Motown acts is that we were a family. That's not a myth
Motown was the mecca. It was every writer's dream to work there.
Motown's policy was to build one act at a time or their favorites.
I know that's blasphemous when you are from Detroit, but I was never a fan of Motown stuff. I don't care for the production much.
Once you're a Motown artist, that's your stigmatism, and I was there from the very first day
I feel Motown really exploited me.
'Let's Get It On' is a classic Motown single, endlessly repeatable and always enjoyable.
The influence is really all over the place. Detroit, definitely because of Motown and Stooges. When you come from a place like Detroit, you're really proud of what you have there.
