Quote for the Day:
"..I was just fed up with not having hits out, and everyone around me were having hits.
I just didn't have the foresight because I left the company in the middle of a Smokey Robinson session. I could have killed myself.
He was cutting all these songs on me and I wanted a hit, like everybody else, but I didn't have any patience.
You know, there's so much that goes on along with the entertainment business backstage.
You see a lot of other stuff that goes on, that other people don't see, and it kind of confuses you.
I was a young kid."
