Ollie I just don't believe that. If she were one of these artists who spent her career drugged and drunk, sure. But to think she doesn't have a bunch of recording memories just doesn't make sense to me. She'd be the exception to the rule for sure because I can't think of any of the sober artists who couldn't tell you some deep stuff about their work. I can't think of anyone who has had a lengthy career who couldn't go into at least
some detail about their work. People have spent years convincing us that she was the type who didn't just show up, she was involved. The lady has to recall some recording sessions, some ideas around album conception, concert experiences, etc. But really, how do we know since she's never asked about this stuff?
I really am quite sick and tired of hearing about her looks, her children [[although I certainly understand her desire to "brag" about them, as a lot of parents do), and her views on the legacy of Motown, and even her place in it. Go deeper.
And while we're at it, release that second book!
