I recorded Mary's last album before she died. In fact, the single before this one, which was on Nightmare Records, before the Motorcity label was even created, "Don't Burn Your Bridges", was only the second ever Motorcity song to actually be recorded, although the fourth single to be released. And funnily enough, this song was the second ever single on the actual Motorcity label itself. Mary was a true diva, a lovely person and a dear friend. Wherever she went, her four year old daughter, Sugar, was with her. She was left without a mother at such a young age. I guess she'd be about twenty three or four now. Mary was with us in Detroit for a TV show to perform this song, and she came out with the greatest line in history, which is somehow captured on a grotty dark bit of video for posterity. "When you deal with the Motown artists you're dealing with true genius. And like all true geniuses, we're all mentally disturbed". Liz Lands was there, and wholeheartedly agreed with her. I treasure that quote.
