I don't ever balk at being considered a Motown person, because Motown is the greatest musical event that ever happened in the history of music.
Bob Seger was a huge inspiration.
I grew up when the whole Motown thing was huge. The charts in those days were dominated by groups more than solo artists at one point.
I listened to a lot of Marvin Gaye and Motown records.
Once you're a Motown artist, you're always a Motown artist.
I'm the world's biggest Bob Seger fan. He's like my Elvis.
My love for The Four Tops cannot be expressed greatly enough.
My favorites are Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye, but those are a little off in terms of getting Detroit right on the head. But of course, you know, "Dancing In The Streets." You can't forget the Motor City. And we can't forget the Motor City.
Motown, Motown, that's my era. Those are my people.
