Motown's policy was to build one act at a time or their favorites..

Then when Gladys Knight came in to do my songs that was the straw that broke the camel's back..

I feel Motown really exploited me..

A lot of times I can across as too masculine to men, and they couldn't handle me, they stayed away..

I was a black singer with a white voice, a perfect pop voice..

My costumes were made for sex appeal not for women..
