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.
I didn't have time for talent shows and stuff like that. I was into books and studying real hard.
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.
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.
I was upset with Delbert, because there he was going again and pushing me out in front, without asking me.
