Speaker 4: I got my Fonte h.
Speaker 2: Okay, saying I got my f Yeah, I got my
Speaker 2: publisher's clanhouse thing.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: So I will say that we had Quest left Supreme.
Speaker 2: Definitely didn't want to go third year without at least
Speaker 2: a Supreme roll call, so it was important that we
Speaker 2: all do this in person, and I guess we wanted
Speaker 2: to do this in grand fashion. So in case you're listening,
Speaker 2: we took a pilgrimage to the Great State Old Georgia. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we're going to be here doing many, many episodes that
Speaker 2: you'll hear. Probably the next six or seven Quest Love
Speaker 2: Supreme episodes will be based in Atlanta, Georgia. Wait, I'm
Speaker 2: in Georgia. Yeah, you're in Georgia right now. We're not
Speaker 2: in New York and.
Speaker 4: They don't let me have very much, so I see
Speaker 4: this is good.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, without further ado, I'll say that we're
Speaker 2: really excited to have our special guests on the show. Wait,
Speaker 2: can we also just admit that we are now officially
Speaker 2: on YouTube.
Speaker 6: Line.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've been doing this. No, well, I didn't know.
Speaker 2: I didn't realize until the Steve Rifkin episode that we
Speaker 2: were that we had a.
Speaker 6: YouTube page with Jennifer Lewis.
Speaker 2: Yeah, even wait, the Jennifer Lewis episode from people that
Speaker 2: don't even listen to Yeah, we made it to the
Speaker 2: talk on that one.
Speaker 4: Bro.
Speaker 1: Oh, we're legendary on.
Speaker 6: The top Jackson, but we're.
Speaker 1: Not really on the talk.
Speaker 2: That means that, you know, wow, okay, right now kids
Speaker 2: know us well. I'll say that I've been begging and
Speaker 2: hoping and wishing for this moment for the longest, and
Speaker 2: it was when we did said Steve Rifkin episode in
Speaker 2: which we've reminded that as legendary father, Jules had signed
Speaker 2: our guest today to the label. I don't know, thoughts
Speaker 2: just started racing my head because it's like I see
Speaker 2: Spring Records almost as the precursor of like a deaf
Speaker 2: Jam simply because our guest today is truly the mother,
Speaker 2: She's the creator of rap. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: And I mean not to mention Jules Rifkins also signing
Speaker 2: James Brown, which damn near provided the landscape for every
Speaker 2: sample that we had on the label. Fabbecks King Tim
Speaker 2: Third the official first rap release on the label. So
Speaker 2: Spring Records is a super legendary. I didn't realize that
Speaker 2: until we did the Rifken episode, and I will say
Speaker 2: our guest is definitely one of the first artists I've
Speaker 2: ever seen have a a warning sticker. That was my
Speaker 2: That was in my uncle my Dad's don't touch that
Speaker 2: part of the record collection, which instantly meant I got to.
Speaker 1: Hear it the first time.
Speaker 7: What she said?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what's that? Yeah, that's that's that's this moment.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
Speaker 2: And you know it's such a legendary disciography. I mean,
Speaker 2: name these like there's caught Up, uh still caught Up,
Speaker 2: even better than the sequel. Uh, the aforementioned feeling bitchy,
Speaker 2: her so good, my favorite Live and Uncensored. I think
Speaker 2: I got first got sent to the principal's office for
Speaker 2: singing uh fuck you in the third grade. That's the
Speaker 2: first time I got sit at the principal's office. Uh

Speaker 2: is real. Yes, her legendary daughter is also joining us

Speaker 2: the late eighties. But you know, she's done amazing work
Speaker 2: with like a lot of our favorites with you know,
Speaker 2: name him Do Whitney Brown, Houston.
Speaker 1: Not to mention the legendary outcast.
Speaker 2: She she has history, she has legacy, you know, the
Speaker 2: the daughter's a legacy project that she's been a part
Speaker 2: of with Isaac Hayses, like this sort of the progeny

Speaker 9: Ruth Pointer's daughter who was also.
Speaker 2: That his daughter, oh we found out were Bonnie.

Speaker 2: Eh you dash you?
Speaker 1: Oh e you no? Just he is you? Just you?
Speaker 1: Just me you c K dash you Yes that's how
Speaker 1: you spell it? Yeah? No, it felt good to be
Speaker 1: cursed out by Millie Jackson.
Speaker 4: My life.
Speaker 6: Just told me my mom was dirty.
Speaker 5: I was like, word all my life. That's what people say.
Speaker 5: I want to meet your mom so she can cuss me.
Speaker 1: Out right exactly.
Speaker 2: Our first question of the show is can you two
Speaker 2: share your first musical memory?
Speaker 9: Mine is her?
Speaker 5: Yeah, speak on, Yeah, my musical memory was her, but
Speaker 5: it's kind of hard to pin it down.
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, not to interrupt you, but were you
Speaker 2: allowed to go to shows when you were kids?
Speaker 7: Absolutely?
Speaker 10: She did background for the show. I beg your pardoner,
Speaker 10: what I mean, d But.
Speaker 5: No, I was there like nothing. Listen, we'll get into
Speaker 5: that later if you want to. Yes, definitely, definitely went
Speaker 5: to shows early on. Didn't really know what I was witnessing,
Speaker 5: you know, And as I got older, I was like, oh,
Speaker 5: this ship ain't normal.
Speaker 7: This is this what ain't normal?
Speaker 5: This is this ship ain't normal? And it's really funny.
Speaker 5: And she does that because she knows that I don't.
Speaker 5: I typically don't cuss. I cuss, but I typically don't
Speaker 5: cuss in front of her. That makes it so even
Speaker 5: though I've been exposed to it all my life, I
Speaker 5: just it's a respect thing, and it's a but every
Speaker 5: now and then, listen, it flies out, is what it
Speaker 5: is I.
Speaker 1: Want to want to take a pull? Are we cussing
Speaker 1: for my mom? Is yet? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: I just you curse not I lost her out of
Speaker 1: you allowed to do it.
Speaker 11: The only thing you don't do is bitch like I
Speaker 11: almost caught myself the other day.
Speaker 6: No, we're not there.
Speaker 5: We compliment, but you go like bitch, same same, I
Speaker 5: don't do I don't do the B word, and I
Speaker 5: don't do I don't throw F bombs.
Speaker 1: Okay, gotcha? Got you? Gotcha?
Speaker 8: Or not not even p H bomb?
Speaker 10: Not not when you know I'm listening, correct right when
Speaker 10: I remember you coming out to dressing room with the
Speaker 10: background singers one time and didn't know I was in
Speaker 10: the hallway and I thought Millie Jackson had died doing background.
Speaker 7: Yes, it goes down, so definitely goes down.
Speaker 6: You.
Speaker 2: I mean, surely you know that the fruit doesn't fall
Speaker 2: far from the tree.
Speaker 7: So but hey, I was shocked.
Speaker 10: And then she was saying thanks to the other background
Speaker 10: singles because she was pissed off that I haven't even said.
Speaker 7: She created new words that I had never heard.
Speaker 10: Now she said, and I'm going, what what what? And
Speaker 10: she came out and saw me and went yeah, I.
Speaker 5: Would probably react that way today though, if she saw
Speaker 5: me like in my real you.
Speaker 1: Know, right. So she was your first musical memory.
Speaker 5: Yes, she was my first musical memory, but I don't
Speaker 5: have any specific memory like that comes to mind. It
Speaker 5: was just always music in the house. It was always
Speaker 5: the Blues. It was always b Be King, Bobby Bland
Speaker 5: like so I remember going to those shows because she
Speaker 5: was on the shows a lot with BB and Bobby.
Speaker 9: Then it got into z I.
Speaker 5: Don't know why, Easy Hill, Denise lesaal like those.
Speaker 1: Don't know what really was it? You didn't like we
Speaker 1: were with.
Speaker 10: The same agency, you know, so I kept getting stuck
Speaker 10: in there.
Speaker 5: So they kept putting her with Blues or a little
Speaker 5: bit more because they didn't know.
Speaker 9: They just didn't know where to put her.
Speaker 5: So my Richard Prior was still alive, did a show
Speaker 5: that would have been doped.
Speaker 7: I did that what us once?
Speaker 1: How was it.
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 7: What I thought it would be?
Speaker 1: Was his audience shocked?
Speaker 7: Uh no, he was what do you mean?
Speaker 10: He met me on the elevator and looked at me
Speaker 10: like I was Satan number one.
Speaker 7: I said, I just met your mother, he said.
Speaker 6: He intimidated, He was intimidated.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I did not want to work with him.
Speaker 7: No more.
Speaker 5: Irony of it is that, you know, I think, you know,
Speaker 5: back then it was the misogyny as well.
Speaker 9: Like you know, it's for me to speak like that,
Speaker 9: but his mother was.
Speaker 10: At his show and I met his mother and she
Speaker 10: was nice and sweet and.
Speaker 6: She had the brothel, right, so like she been.
Speaker 9: I mean, you know, she was cool to me, but
Speaker 9: he wasn't.
Speaker 6: You was her people? Probably she probably was like that.
Speaker 6: I'm fucking with that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously, you know, I think in the case of
Speaker 2: being good for the goose and good for the game,
Speaker 2: they're like men are definitely territorial. And because even if
Speaker 2: you remember when WAP came out, Snoop had like.
Speaker 1: Did his first almost a lady shouldn't be saying that.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, didn't you make it? D Yeah?
Speaker 2: Did I miss the memo? Well, since you're speaking of
Speaker 2: that time period, I always wanted to know, have you
Speaker 2: ever had any interaction whatsoever with Betty Davis?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: Okay, Betty Davis the actress No no, no, no, no, not
Speaker 2: a singer, uh, the ex wife of Miles Davis, who
Speaker 2: she wanted, she too wanted to push the envelope in
Speaker 2: like the NAACP kept I.
Speaker 1: Don't be.
Speaker 10: I met Miles and he was more like the other one.
Speaker 6: Are you serious?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 2: They who were the So were there any guys in
Speaker 2: the industry that like really were respectful and like really
Speaker 2: the case?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Who are the people that really was in your corner?
Speaker 7: Joe Simon?
Speaker 1: Oh wow?
Speaker 10: Okay, yeah, he was one of the owners actually of
Speaker 10: Springs Records, and he was cool back back then. Yep,
Speaker 10: fat back band. But we I think I only worked
Speaker 10: with them maybe once, but Joe Simon and I work
Speaker 10: together quite often.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, our audience they'll know Joe Simon from Drowning to
Speaker 2: See Your Love, they'll know that sample.
Speaker 7: But he died about a year and a half.
Speaker 10: A year, Yeah he did, and he had I sent
Speaker 10: him preaching that. Yeah, he gave he gave it up
Speaker 10: and went preaching. I used to laugh about that.
Speaker 7: I said, did I do that?
Speaker 1: But for you before you got your deal? Like I
Speaker 1: know that. I guess your injury into this was writing poetry, so.
Speaker 2: Not really really, So tell me about your being, Like,
Speaker 2: what was the moment where you were like, I have
Speaker 2: a god given talent and I want to express this.
Speaker 10: I owe my entire career and cussing and everything else
Speaker 10: to a very nice gentleman who I I never heard
Speaker 10: curse in my life, Billy Nichols.
Speaker 1: Okay, who was he?
Speaker 11: Like?
Speaker 10: Billy Billy Nichols. He had a band and a group
Speaker 10: came out afterwards. I'm trying to remember the name of
Speaker 10: his band. But he, you know, took me to Spring.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, what year is this?
Speaker 7: Nineteen seventy one?
Speaker 10: In fact, though I did one song prior to that
Speaker 10: with MGM, a little bit of Something's worth more than
Speaker 10: a whole lot or nothing, none, And then it took
Speaker 10: me two years to learn how to cuss, and I
Speaker 10: went to Spring because MGM didn't didn't nothing, no, no, no,
Speaker 10: But how.
Speaker 6: Do you learn? You said two years to learn how
Speaker 6: to cuss?
Speaker 7: I already knew.
Speaker 1: How did you? When did you feel safe?
Speaker 2: Because the thing is that, even though we're joking about it,
Speaker 2: it's very real because you know, as I mentioned, when
Speaker 2: Betty Davis tried to do it, it was to the
Speaker 2: point where she couldn't do shows no more because they
Speaker 2: would actually have like bomb threats and literally like she
Speaker 2: was a threat to people. So to be so unrestricted
Speaker 2: like what was the for you? What was the turning
Speaker 2: point of.
Speaker 10: All they had to do was see my live show
Speaker 10: and say sign her because I was always cussing at.
Speaker 7: The live show.
Speaker 1: And club promoters and they were fine with that.
Speaker 10: Or oh yeah, they say adults only. Okay, okay, So
Speaker 10: some people was upset when they came to see my show.
Speaker 10: So I had to really cuss them out because since
Speaker 10: it said adults only, I guess they thought I was
Speaker 10: supposed to be getting undressed adults only. That's for the strippers.
Speaker 10: You see nothing here and get cussed out. If you
Speaker 10: asked to see something of legs, Yeah, I gave him
Speaker 10: leg Now. I had always had nice legs. No ass,
Speaker 10: but nice legs.
Speaker 1: Okay, ladies are good, you're doing well. You're doing well
Speaker 1: for yourself.
Speaker 2: So when in the studio, at least when you are
Speaker 2: doing your legendary raps. When we say legendary raps, you
Speaker 2: know there's this start streaming.
Speaker 10: Sang the song, shut the hell up and turn the
Speaker 10: mic on.
Speaker 1: Really, so you would just do it live with the
Speaker 1: band right there.
Speaker 10: And yeah, whatever comes up came out. I mean it
Speaker 10: was in my head. It always related to whatever the
Speaker 10: song was.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, well, I just meant in terms of, you know,
Speaker 2: when you're structuring the song, is it you see the.
Speaker 10: Terrible thing about being in love with a married man?
Speaker 1: Tell me go in that's the first line.
Speaker 8: Wait for you to keep going.
Speaker 10: But I'm saying, you know, I do unfinished singing. If
Speaker 10: loving you is wrong, I don't want to be right.
Speaker 7: So now you see the terrible.
Speaker 10: Thing about being in love with a married man, the
Speaker 10: fact that you can't see him when you really want to.
Speaker 10: And on stage, you know, you see the terrible thing
Speaker 10: about being in love with a married man. You gotta
Speaker 10: get fucked after he sucked his wife.
Speaker 1: So two versions, Yes, that's the show.
Speaker 10: Fun.
Speaker 6: You know it was a life God damn.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you just have you were You were nominated for
Speaker 2: Grammy for that version of loving you is wrong?
Speaker 7: Why do you want to remind me?
Speaker 10: Why do you I didn't even want to be in
Speaker 10: the mic to say this.
Speaker 1: I'm giving you your flowers. I'm giving you your flowers.
Speaker 7: Let's get in tall.
Speaker 1: The story that let's talk about.
Speaker 10: Don't know the story, then nominate me for the Grammy.
Speaker 10: They gave it to Aretha Franklin for a fucking song
Speaker 10: that was two years old?
Speaker 8: What was this?
Speaker 1: Ain't nothing like the real thing one. I think that you.
Speaker 8: Two years old.
Speaker 7: It shouldn't have even been nominated.
Speaker 6: It shouldn't have been. It shouldn't have it.
Speaker 9: Was it Clive, No, it wasn't Clive. It was pre Clive.
Speaker 8: Because it was I don't know who it was, but
Speaker 8: they got.
Speaker 1: And yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So it's funny because there's a video on YouTube with
Speaker 5: the and David Bowie is introducing the award and he's
Speaker 5: high as hell, like he was like, hello, he's high
Speaker 5: and swayed Jill Coole as hell and he's like, the
Speaker 5: nominees for Best R and B Singer Female is and
Speaker 5: it was like it was Mom, it was I think
Speaker 5: it was Thelma Houston. I forget who the others were.
Speaker 5: And then it was Aretha Franklin. And so you see
Speaker 5: as they're announcing the names, you know, everybody's just kind
Speaker 5: of poised, and she's got on this white outfit, white hat,
Speaker 5: and she's sitting there like, I mean, she knew that
Speaker 5: it wasn't gonna go to her because they slipped Aretha
Speaker 5: in the category at the last minute and she wasn't
Speaker 5: Her song wasn't even qualified because she had put out
Speaker 5: a record in two years.
Speaker 9: Wow, So everybody knew.
Speaker 5: All the other ladies knew what was going down, so
Speaker 5: when it came time.
Speaker 11: But how does that affect your relationship with Aretha? Because
Speaker 11: technically it wasn't her fault. That's her people like putting
Speaker 11: it in, you know, placing her in the right place.
Speaker 10: I have no problem with Aretha except for the fact
Speaker 10: that I was also booked by the same agency and
Speaker 10: I wouldn't let up the hallway one day.
Speaker 7: She was there.
Speaker 6: What does that you wouldn't let her?
Speaker 10: She she was coming up the hallway and I stepped
Speaker 10: in front of and she looked at me like and
Speaker 10: stepped over. And I stepped over again, and I said hello, Lordretha,
Speaker 10: and she says hi. I said, that's all. I just
Speaker 10: come up here every day after I get off from
Speaker 10: work and I see you, and you won't speak. So
Speaker 10: I was determined that you was gonna say hello to
Speaker 10: me today. You can go on back to fucking business.
Speaker 9: It's just be life.
Speaker 7: Boom.
Speaker 1: I love it. Energy.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I still had my day gig.
Speaker 2: So you're still working. You were still working like a
Speaker 2: regular job. What were you doing? What was your day job?
Speaker 9: I was working in the garment district, Yes.
Speaker 1: In New York City.
Speaker 10: In New York City, yes, doing what Yes, I was,
Speaker 10: And I work from nine to five and get up
Speaker 10: for working, go up to Queen's Booking Agency to see
Speaker 10: my agent.
Speaker 7: Every day, who also booked Aretha.
Speaker 10: In fact, they damn near booked everybody black, but the
Speaker 10: top of.
Speaker 7: The list was.
Speaker 10: Sammy Davis Junior, Dinah Washington, and when Dinah died, they stuck.
Speaker 7: Aretha in there. Yeah, but it was.
Speaker 10: Sammy Davis Junior, Dinah Washington and the jazz artist what's
Speaker 10: her name?
Speaker 7: I can't think of a name.
Speaker 11: It's all right, I'm curious. I'm like, were you priority
Speaker 11: in this list?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 1: Hell no.
Speaker 5: That's where the Aretha problem comes in because.
Speaker 6: So it's so many Aretha issues because they had.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they were, she was on their roster, and so
Speaker 5: she got the gigs and she was pushed down.
Speaker 7: The thing up.
Speaker 10: The reason I ended up at Queen's Booking Agency is
Speaker 10: Henry Nash was the tour manager for a show I
Speaker 10: did prior to him going to Queen Booking Agency. He
Speaker 10: was on tour with Elsie Cook Sam Cooks. Yeah, and
Speaker 10: we toured for two years prior to him going to
Speaker 10: Queen Booking agency and booking me.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 10: In fact, I didn't even have a record when I
Speaker 10: was out there.
Speaker 1: And we've seen what else he was that gospel? Was
Speaker 1: that primarily gospel?
Speaker 7: Hell to the now gospel?
Speaker 1: What was he?
Speaker 11: So?
Speaker 1: What was he wasn't a gospel singer?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 10: Oh okay, no, he just never had a hit because
Speaker 10: of his brother. His brother just took away all his stardom. Yeah,
Speaker 10: but actually he he had one I think he maybe
Speaker 10: had one album, but he had.
Speaker 7: To do blues.
Speaker 2: So with you, when you were talking about them putting
Speaker 2: you in the blues category and olymping you with blues artists,
Speaker 2: where did you want to be?
Speaker 1: Did you feel like you were more soul R and B?
Speaker 1: Where did you want to be?
Speaker 8: I was?
Speaker 9: I talked a lot.
Speaker 10: I talked too much, so I was like the female
Speaker 10: Isaac Hayes.
Speaker 1: Ikes wrapping up? How did those collaborations come about.
Speaker 7: Me and Isaac?
Speaker 10: Yeah, we both ended up with the same record company
Speaker 10: and they wanted me to do something with a man.
Speaker 10: I said, well, you got Isaac's cross.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's right. Isaac did sign the Polydor and yes, seventies.
Speaker 7: I was with Spring who was distributed?
Speaker 1: What was Jules Rifkin, Like, Jules Rifkin was everywhere.
Speaker 10: No, No, Jules Rifkin was there because he was Roy
Speaker 10: Rifkins's brother. Roy Rifkin was the president, Julie was the
Speaker 10: vice president.
Speaker 7: But who actually took.
Speaker 10: Care of all of the music and had the ear
Speaker 10: was Bill Spatowski.
Speaker 6: Wow, I didn't remember his name from Steve.
Speaker 7: They all did, now, Okay.
Speaker 1: And this is the thing.
Speaker 2: Whenever we have either an act or an executive that
Speaker 2: was especially active in the sixties and seventies, you know,
Speaker 2: the question I always asked him is I know that
Speaker 2: labels were mafia run.
Speaker 10: I don't think the Rifkins was in that.
Speaker 1: No, No, no, they weren't. I know.
Speaker 2: But it's like, how do you avoid running into them?
Speaker 2: That's the and that's the thing that amazed me about
Speaker 2: Jules Rifkins, the fact that you know, in the days
Speaker 2: of marsh Levy and all of you know, the the
Speaker 2: mafia run labels and whatnot, like coal do was German? Well, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's what I'm saying, Like this is the beginning of
Speaker 2: the major labels establishing and taking out the smaller labels.
Speaker 1: How did you avoid because usually with.
Speaker 2: From what I know is that if you have some
Speaker 2: sort of success or nariety, then they're going to take
Speaker 2: you or Jackie or your manager winds up dead in
Speaker 2: the alleyway somewhere.
Speaker 10: I didn't have one of those. They would be give
Speaker 10: yourself the prize.
Speaker 1: So you've managed yourself pretty much.
Speaker 10: Who never had? How does that happen? You keep your
Speaker 10: day job.
Speaker 1: So you never want This is not the first time
Speaker 1: I've heard this, because.
Speaker 10: So you can tell somebody to go fund yourself. I
Speaker 10: got a job paid with without you.
Speaker 6: Hey, but how do you do the business? You still
Speaker 6: got to do the business representing yourself, like because.
Speaker 7: You majored in business.
Speaker 6: Let's talk about it. I see we didn't get to see. Okay,
Speaker 6: I need to know.
Speaker 2: This is interesting to me because I'm just finding out
Speaker 2: makes so much sense that Bill Withers didn't even feel
Speaker 2: safe in leaving his airport job until adjustments came out.
Speaker 1: So that means still Bill, just as I am, he
Speaker 1: was working, he was.
Speaker 2: He was he was an airplane and the airplane wow wow.
Speaker 4: So picture of him.
Speaker 2: With us, yes, so that the cover of the album
Speaker 2: the last thing he's actually on his lunch break with
Speaker 2: his actual yeah, like I thought they manufactured that thing, like,
Speaker 2: oh you know every day got Bill Withers.
Speaker 1: No, he was like, this is my lunch break. Take
Speaker 1: the photo.
Speaker 2: So for you working, that was the way of keeping
Speaker 2: your autonomy, that was a way of all.
Speaker 10: Yes, I worked down in the garment district and I
Speaker 10: got my all of my uniforms for twenty off of
Speaker 10: the regular price. Not no, no, we don't deal with.
Speaker 6: That wholesale price. Wholesale you got twenty wholesale sell.
Speaker 9: Yes, that's where all your stage clothes came from.
Speaker 1: Yes, you never said that explained?
Speaker 6: So what you never said what your job was in
Speaker 6: the garment district? What was the gig?
Speaker 10: I was assistant supervisor of shipping far Kimberly Nitwell.
Speaker 7: Shipping.
Speaker 6: Yes, power in that.
Speaker 2: Well, are you about to go get a job right
Speaker 2: now in the garment district shipping.
Speaker 6: I'm just thinking about how she used that power.
Speaker 1: There's no shame in that. You know. I've always had
Speaker 1: nineteen jobs and now I got seven. So yeah, and.
Speaker 10: I knew since I was in the garment district, I
Speaker 10: know where to go and get all the Ryan Stones
Speaker 10: and his stuff to put on my Kimberly.
Speaker 6: Knit Well ooh, and they liked that you woreter shit to.
Speaker 10: Know, they did not like they kept and they didn't
Speaker 10: know anything about any of that. The point is when
Speaker 10: I hit the stage, I looked like I was one
Speaker 10: of them people that was making a whole lot of
Speaker 10: money perception because I had my twenty percent off wholesale hotel,
Speaker 10: lots and lots of rhyme stones and beads that I
Speaker 10: sold on myself.
Speaker 2: Keisha, when did you know that? You said, you know
Speaker 2: you were a kid us go around music. It's you know,

Speaker 2: how you know the beer is different in the UK.
Speaker 1: Yes, That's why I didn't want to ask.

Speaker 1: Actually?
Speaker 10: Hot Wild Unrestricted Crazy Love was.
Speaker 7: Done by.
Speaker 10: U two writers that they already had signed. They was
Speaker 10: staff writers.
Speaker 1: I see, and you recorded that album in the UK.
Speaker 9: Not the whole album, no, just a couple of songs.
Speaker 1: What was that experience like recording over there?
Speaker 10: They were that's where the company was that for two
Speaker 10: days and back.
Speaker 1: Home experience okay? Everyone else was like, you know.
Speaker 10: I was the producer, so after that, so wow, I
Speaker 10: don't go into the studio till I know what I'm.
Speaker 7: Getting ready to do.
Speaker 1: I see it, And most.
Speaker 10: Of the songs was written by me, so yo, I
Speaker 10: knew what I was gonna do.
Speaker 2: Wait, you were right live in the studio. No, it
Speaker 2: was never demoed ahead of time or when I.
Speaker 7: Was the producer.
Speaker 10: I would do the track off the top of my
Speaker 10: head because I already got the words.
Speaker 7: I already wrote the.
Speaker 10: Song, and then I'd go back and do it again,
Speaker 10: the the vocals again because I said a word that
Speaker 10: kind of off.
Speaker 7: I think I should do that over. But you do
Speaker 7: that when you produce it.
Speaker 2: When you say do the track? Would you like dictate?
Speaker 2: Do you actually play instruments?
Speaker 1: Would you dictate the ideas to other musicians? How would
Speaker 1: you do it?
Speaker 7: Ain't doing no instruments.
Speaker 10: I played keyboards to write the song, and then I
Speaker 10: ain't playing on it no more.
Speaker 1: This is the song.
Speaker 10: I played the keyboards on childiguard and then he come
Speaker 10: see what I'm doing, and he do what I'm doing
Speaker 10: and do it better than me, because I can write
Speaker 10: fok songs while I'm playing the keyboards on one song.
Speaker 1: I have a question I want you to talk about.
Speaker 2: Uh, there's a song of yours called give it Up
Speaker 2: and with your advocated.
Speaker 7: Going to hell.
Speaker 6: Wait a minute, that's not a song title. Youre going
Speaker 6: to hell.
Speaker 2: I was just you're not supposed to use the Lord's
Speaker 2: name in vain.
Speaker 7: Ain't that something?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 5: I had to say that to her before because I
Speaker 5: she heard me say goddamn it.
Speaker 9: She was like, don't come. I was like, you made
Speaker 9: a whole record.
Speaker 7: Give it up. God damn, give it up right now,
Speaker 7: give it up.
Speaker 2: You look, I'm just recapitulating. No, But I mean at
Speaker 2: the time it was it was I'm a little pushing
Speaker 2: because people weren't thinking about rights for women or rights
Speaker 2: for the LGBTQ, like.
Speaker 1: They weren't even identified back then.
Speaker 2: But what made you like was that your demographics like
Speaker 2: who who was in seventy nine? Like I really became
Speaker 2: familiar with you with my aunt. My aunt used to
Speaker 2: always play live and I'm restricted. So that was when
Speaker 2: I realized, like, oh, my dad got Millie Jackson records
Speaker 2: and then I go back and see them at the bottom
Speaker 2: of the pile or whatever.
Speaker 1: But who was coming to the shows?
Speaker 2: Because even at those shows, the audience is almost louder
Speaker 2: than you are, so it's it's like, who was your
Speaker 2: audience at that time?
Speaker 9: Let me say something.
Speaker 5: Yes, I remember, I wasn't into the audience. I distinctly remember.
Speaker 5: I distinctly remember her being on phone multiple times talking
Speaker 5: to potential promoters, people booking shows, and she would say,
Speaker 5: when is it the twenty ninth, that's it, that's the
Speaker 5: last week of the month. The people that come to
Speaker 5: my shows don't have no money. So it was welfare recipients,
Speaker 5: it was people that she knew.
Speaker 9: They knew when that knew.
Speaker 8: She did not play.
Speaker 9: She did not play around with it.
Speaker 5: And there what times that she would say, I'm not
Speaker 5: doing the gig and it didn't matter what money they
Speaker 5: were offering. She was like, it don't matter because I
Speaker 5: ain't no people gonna be there. And she knew that when.
Speaker 7: It came to the week of the twenty third, and.
Speaker 5: She knew that, I'm not gonna go because I'm not
Speaker 5: gonna get my money at the end of the night,
Speaker 5: because you're gonna come to me crying about how the
Speaker 5: people didn't show, people didn't pay.
Speaker 8: So she never I remember that.
Speaker 1: Wow, I got that.
Speaker 6: That's what she did for.
Speaker 1: I never thought of that.
Speaker 2: I never knew that one could be that strategic with
Speaker 2: their career time.
Speaker 1: Now I'm like thirty years right.
Speaker 10: I told you I'm the manager.
Speaker 2: How did you balance all that? How did you balance
Speaker 2: between the management in the music?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: How did you? How did you balance it?
Speaker 10: I always thought that managers was overpaid for doing something
Speaker 10: that they had to tell you to do when you
Speaker 10: already know what you want to do. Why would you
Speaker 10: you know, why do I need you to tell me
Speaker 10: to do this gig?
Speaker 7: I know if I want to do this gig or not.
Speaker 5: And they have to bring it to her to finalize it.
Speaker 5: Enjoys So she's like, if you got to bring it
Speaker 5: to me to say yes, and I may as well
Speaker 5: just do it.
Speaker 11: But we never expounded on your background when it came
Speaker 11: to business though, because you said you went to college,
Speaker 11: you made it a bit, you.
Speaker 8: Didn't go tout.
Speaker 9: Wait, you can't go to college.
Speaker 6: So wait. I thought you said you made it, you
Speaker 6: made it in business, but not I.
Speaker 9: Did in night school, okay, so what.
Speaker 6: So tell me about that then? So you went to
Speaker 6: night school to finish your.
Speaker 10: I got out of that, got out of high school, yeah,
