"Emotion" was the first single that I released with Kim Weston on the Motorcity label, having previously released three singles together on the Nightmare label, and endless years before Beyonce ever was heard of. I had known Kim since 1969, when I met Motown song writing legend and head of A&R, Mickey Stevenson on a plane while on vacation with my parents. Needless to say, I spent the whole journey chatting to him, and at the airport his wife, Kim Weston, met him off the plane, and then she arranged to pick me up at the hotel next day, and took me shopping all over Los Angeles, and Mickey arranged for me to go to Motown's West Coast warehouse, and buy singles for my collection at wholesale prices. Eighteen years later, my friend Henry Sellars was in touch with Kim, and brought her over for me to record - the very very first former Motown artist to start the Motorcity project. We first recorded a new Motownesque song, although with a High Energy flavour, called "Signal Your Intention", and Motorcity was born.
