About Me

..

This profile was edited with MySpaceGrill Editor

I was born in Houston, Texas. Ive been in the Music business for 36 years, 27 of those years at Motown Records. I am a football fanatic. I started out as a Houston Oiler fan-then they moved. When I moved to L.A. I became a Rams fan and a Raiders fan (when they came down from Oakland). Of course, they both left town-but, I am still a fan of theirs. I love USC football and was upset when the Texans didn't draft Reggie Bush. I am also an avid movie fan. My favorite actresses range from Susan Hayward, Natalie Wood, Sophia Loren, Cicely Tyson to Meryl Streep. My favorite actors include Denzel Washington, Sidney Poitier, and Al Pacino.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Bill Clinton and Dolly Parton.
