Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had always dreamed of being a famous singer. In 1989, I signed a deal with Arista Records, and a year later, I put out my first single, Good Life. It wasn’t a hit, but we were still over the moon. #2 I was the eldest of three sisters, and I was in charge of picking out our stage outfits. We flew to L. A. to audition for LaFace Records, and we were all nervous. But we delivered a great show. L. and Kenny were impressed with us. #3 I told everyone I knew about my audition. What was Babyface like. a friend asked me. He was the nicest guy, I cooed. And I’ve met him twice: once backstage on Soul Train and once at a recording studio in Los Angeles. In 1998, I took a cross-country trip to Los Angeles and went to Soul Train. #4 I was so confused after the meeting with my mother. I didn’t expect her to be so angry at me. I decided to sign the contract, and began to feel guilty. I wanted to help my sisters get their big break, but they never experienced the same level of fame that I did.
