When we did a lot of that Motown stuff there were four of us on the front line. When we started the evening we'd start from one end of the band and just go along. The lead singer would change all the time. That's the first time that I actually managed to put it into a record. ↗

I've often cringed when I heard myself described as a jazz singer. I've always thought of myself as a jazz vocalist. ↗
