I have had three career highlights:

The first was seeing five singles that I worked on in the top ten of the Billboard chart while the Beatles had four of the others. Its been all down hill from there!

The second was being given a tour of EMI studios at Abbey Road in 1968 and finding myself treated the way George Martin would have been treated here in the U.S. I'd never had the slightest idea that Motown was much bigger in England than we were in the U.S.

The third was riding a fader sitting next to Stevie Wonder as we listened to GC Cameron absolutely nailing the lead vocal on the rundown of "It's a Shame." This was the very first song Stevie ever produced and we knew from that moment that it was going to be a huge hit.
