- The musical hero that motivated him to enter the music business.
- How an EMI records exec said "we don't hear a hit" on the Wild Wild West album.

- The inspiration behind "I'll Be There."
- How they never received much of the money generated by their record sales and how that led them to disband the group in the early '90s.
