It was amazing. I had been signed to Screen Gems back then and they had just recently bought Aldon Music, which was the place that I just had such incredible respect for their writers -- Carole King, Gerry Goffin, and Barry Mann and Neil Sedaka -- and they all ended up at Screen Gems. I was quite young, and they put me with a young girl there, Toni Wine, and one of the first songs we wrote together was "A Groovy Kind of Love.
Have there been other moments when you've been particularly excited about an artist's interpretation of a song, maybe one you weren't expecting? So we were at the studio and Dionne did her vocal and Stevie was coming down to put his vocal on. I was talking to my dear friend Elizabeth Taylor, and she had never met Stevie. So she came down to the studio as Stevie was putting his vocal down, and because she was in the studio it just flashed through my mind that we should put a couple more people on this song and make it an anthem for AIDS. We put Gladys Knight on, she was incredible, and then we needed one more voice to hammer it home.
