I never thought I'd get a chance to sing with Wilson Pickett but we did.
Oh yeah, I know Johnnie Bassett. We were part of that whole thing.
Everybody had their fans and they were fans of all of them.
I go out with my band six months of the year and the rest of them with the Blues Brothers.
I was just about 6 weeks old when we moved to Detroit.
People know me for up-tempo songs because of my hits.
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.
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.
All I wanted to do was write songs, but all the things I wrote in Detroit, they put them out by different artists.
