At The Gong Show... I was nervous, I was afraid, but I went out there and auditioned and they liked me. They asked me to come back and tape the show.
It's black women as perpetual sidekick. We need to hear from more women's voices. And it would be nice to see some books geared toward us.
It wasn't until my last year of college, 1976, that I decided well, maybe he's right. Delbert had been pushing me since high school to put 100% into my music.
I didn't have time for talent shows and stuff like that. I was into books and studying real hard.
I was upset with Delbert, because there he was going again and pushing me out in front, without asking me.
Delbert knew me from the choir. He had started a group and he wanted me to be a part of it, so he called me one day and asked me to audition.
My major in college was speech therapy, but to do what I wanted I would have to go on and get my Master's Degree. I figured I needed a change of pace.
