But it was beautiful.
She’s a beautiful lady, and I love her right till today.
She’s one of my closest people,” Robinson recalled.
“She was young and trying to get her career together.
I was trying to help her.
I brought her to Motown, in fact.
I wasn’t going after her and she wasn’t going after me.
It just happened.”
Robinson explained that it was Ross who ultimately decided to end things.
“And I did.
I loved my wife very much.”
“If we could control love, nobody would love anybody.
Nobody would take that chance.
“That happened later.
That happened after I got married.
After I got [the Supremes] signed up with Motown and all that.”
