Quote for the Day:
"I don't know why they re-released it ['I Will Stand', by The Showmen'] but I'm glad, because if it hadn't been re-released, I never would have been with Holland-Dozier-Holland.
When it was re-released, it was number one in Detroit for about four or five weeks, and that's how they became familiar with my work and my voice.
When they decided to leave Motown, I was one of the first artists they got in touch with."
- Soul Express interview, 1993 -
