Quote for the Day:
"Bananarama...'Love In The First Degree'....for a Motown fan like me, I think that's the closest anyone has ever got to making a Supremes record that wasn't The Supremes.
Berry Gordy was on Radio 1 just after the song came out...and he said 'Love In The First Degree' was the best song he'd never made.
It was what we always set out to do, and I felt like we'd achieved our goal."

Quote for the Day:
"Show business was very good to me.
It gave me a lot of things and I was able to travel places I never would've been able to travel to.
I was able to meet hundreds of thousands of people who I never would've met, but then there's a time when you have to say to yourself that it's all over now.
To leave it like I did was probably the best thing for me because I wouldn't have been able to stand up under that kind of pressure in trying to keep the group together.
It wasn't worth it to me because it could have cost me my sanity."
