We’re going to need a string orchestra for this next bit…. Are you ready? Prepare the violins! [Laughs] I felt very alone, and in some respects betrayed. I still stand by “Black Coffee,” and it found its place, didn’t it?II But when everybody rejected it I was out of sorts, and can you blame me, really, considering Polychrome was my record and not Jimmy Curtis’s? That he was allowed to make such a decision was galling to me, especially with him running around with my featured singer and creating all this drama.
