I have this magazine. It's from a few years ago. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton |

"Berry Gordy told me one thing that turned out to be true. He said that once the Jacksons got rich, they wouldn't remember who I was. I've never asked them for shit, but if I go by just to visit they won't let me in the compound. My daughter Danielle was hired as a dancer for one of Michael's videos. During the shoot he kept staring at her, until she finally went over and asked him what he was staring at. He said she reminded him of someone and she told him, well I should. You used to baby-sit me. My father is Bobby Taylor. And he told my daughter - listen to this - 'Oh I don't think I ever thanked him for all he did. Will you thank him for me? 'Will you thank him for me???' Berry Gordy, Berry Gordy, how right you were, sir." - Bobby Taylor
WOW... so that part of the story where Suzanne was part of the early part of getting them signed was false too. Makes me hate their movie even more... sad Bobby never got real credit.

Funny thing is when it was discovered that Diana didn't discover them, the media blamed DIANA, not Berry. |
