79

Actually, I called my psychic

80
00:04:28,792 --> 00:04:31,250

"What's gonna happen?"

81

In the early eighties,

87
00:04:49,542 --> 00:04:53,041
being in  People  magazine was
the equivalent of going viral.

88
00:04:53,125 --> 00:04:55,291
We had 30 million readers,

89
00:04:55,375 --> 00:04:58,291
and if somebody wanted to reach
a lot of people,

90
00:04:58,375 --> 00:05:03,125
there was really no bigger place
to go than  People  magazine.

uh, and this is
the December 7th, 1981 issue,

93

to tell her story.

94

she'd told the story

we was coming from

I asked him, I said,

"Man, can we play a song?"
And he said-- he said, "Yeah."

about that,

trying to rip me off."

And "River Deep," uh,
was not a Black record,

566

you know, and so it wouldn't
make the top ten on R&B charts,

567
00:31:03,458 --> 00:31:06,333

they listen to the record,
