Influenced by a combination of his mother's gospel singing, his own recitals of Haydn's choral pieces and Jackie Wilson's early career with The Dominoes, Sonny's tenor started to feature on recordings in the fifties, with his last session in 1980. Sonny and his group worked with Robert West, a pioneer of Detroit R'n'B, and in this interview he shares his memories of Detroit's golden era.
