“ I had the privalage of performing on the same stage as Otis Redding in 65 at the Oakland Auditorium I was a Lead back up dancer . He enjoyed my dancing and asked if I could go on tour with him and the Bar Kays but i was too young at the time and my dad wouldnt let me . Good thing my dad was right thats the next day his plane crashed and all perished ...............I still hold fond memories of those days ”
