Quote for the Day:

"I don't think the company has a down on Jimmy and me. But you can't talk to them anymore, Berry's 3,000 miles away now.

After 'My Whole World Ended' [a million seller!], the company chose the follow-up as 'I'm So Glad I Fell For You'. I was upset and I said they were sending me back to Church!

Things are a little better now, though, and I'm just working on a new album with Smokey Robinson that I am really happy with.

My new single 'You Can Come Right Back To Me' comes from that session, and I like it.

I've still got a few months left on my contract and I'll sit still until then, at least.
