Hey, we thought it was kinda neat, ... It was sort of an exchange thing, the way I felt. You know, with guys from England coming to the U.S. and then we began to go over there.
I go out with my band six months of the year and the rest of them with the Blues Brothers.
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.
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.
I never thought I'd get a chance to sing with Wilson Pickett but we did.
I was just about 6 weeks old when we moved to Detroit.
The groups, though, were my inspiration way back then. I liked Frankie Lyman and the Teenagers.
I think we've got a good stadium now. But there's a lot of other facilities that are going to be necessary.
