STATEMENT ON THE PASSING OF LITTLE RICHARD
Little Richard was the heart of Rock Nā Roll – wild and crazy, brilliant, amazing – certainly one of a kind.
Long before he became an ardent fan of Motown, I had been inspired by his music and showmanship antics. We loved him.

STATEMENT ON THE PASSING OF ANDRE HARRELL
I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my friend, Andre Harrell.
I appreciated his expertise, forward thinking and the many contributions he brought to Motown after it was sold to MCA.
He will be missed.
