When I'm on stage, I'm the focal point, and that's what I do.

Because you've been such a successful hit maker.

Do you have a particular philosophy about making hits?

Because, again, your ability to move through genres, you know...

My philosophy is don't think about it.

Yeah.

I worked with...

We opened for everybody from David Bowie to Billy Paul and Stevie Wonder.

I mean, go on and on and on.

So only in the record business, does your old label release a song that you had before to capitalize on your success

with the other label that you're now signed to?

Yeah.

And, of course, we're talking about She's Gone, which they reissue becomes, I think, number

seven.

Yeah.

You must have been like, okay, like, sure.

I wasn't complaining. Right? I just thought, well, okay, you screwing it up the first time, so try and do it right the second time. Yeah, and of course, it's, it's a classic now, um, which is funny how those things work, you yeah. Um, how long, how much after that kind of was reissued to Tavares do their cover, which was also a hit, number one, R&B?

I'm not, I'm, my brain, I'm, I'm forgetting what came out first.

Tavares, Tavares did it, but I don't know if they did it before, before the re-released.

I think Tavis did it and then we then ours were

because their version is great too.

Yeah, that was good.
