Mark Nevers sent me the song and it was quite folky, so we changed it. I read that Will Oldham wrote His Hands having read your biography and you recorded the song without having met him. The original white label is worth a mint. The northern soul people in the UK went wild for that song. IвЂ™ve never told anyone that story before.

Clarence gave me $1,500 in cash and that was the end of Unity. So I told Unity that I was retiring to bring up my kids and could they tear up the contract? They said: вЂњWell, itвЂ™s going to cost you.вЂќ They hadnвЂ™t even paid me for what I had done! I was freshly divorced, had four children and no money. It was my big opportunity, but I was under contract. Then Clarence Carter introduced me to Rick Hall from Fame Studios and he signed me the night I auditioned. I was living in Birmingham, Alabama, and I had a contract with Unity but wasnвЂ™t doing well. Why has Now YouвЂ™ve Got The Upper Hand never been rereleased as a single since the Unity seven-inch was withdrawn? Stonecold316

He said: вЂњWhy donвЂ™t we just do it?вЂќ The Bee Gees featured it on one of their TV specials and commented that they liked it. I never met the Bee Gees, but I used to hum it and one day I mentioned to Arif Mardin that I wanted to do it. Дid the Bee Gees approach you to record Nights on Broadway? DaveParry

Clarence Carter was singing the song on the floor and Mac Davis said: вЂњYou know what? I think a woman should sing this song, because itвЂ™s about a woman.вЂќ They put the lyrics in front of me.

Then after I got divorced and moved house I couldnвЂ™t find it anywhere. How did you feel when Elvis showed his appreciation for your wonderful version of In the Ghetto? MullOtterД®lvis wrote me a note saying: вЂњYou did a great job.вЂќ I kept it in my kitchen desk for years. Others would say: вЂњYou donвЂ™t have to do that, girl. Some of them would laugh at me with my little pistol. It wasnвЂ™t in my personality to become a scary gangster, but when the promoters tried not to pay I had to get my gun out even though I was shaking in my shoes. I didnвЂ™t like guns! Eventually I told them to get me one small enough to fit in my handbag. The first thing they told me was to get a gun. In the UK there was one chart, which is how it should be.Дid you play the вЂchitlinвЂ™ circuitвЂ™ in the 60s? RedGammon

To cross over you needed a big label and money behind you. Why do you think that your early 70s classic albums ( IвЂ™m Just a Prisoner, Stand By Your Man, Candi Staton etc) are less canonised than other вЂclassicвЂ™ albums of that period by the Stones, the Beatles etc? mesmД«ack then I didnвЂ™t get on the same chart as those guys because Black artists on smaller labels were put in the R&B charts, not the pop charts.
