4 kilometers away.
At dawn on December 20

Robinson of the Miracles sang a song like
"Tracks of My Tears" or "Ooo, Baby Baby," he'd be listening as hard as we were. The sixties didn't leave Chicago
behind musically [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Great singers like the Impressions with Curtis Mayfield, Jerry Butler, Major Lance [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Tyrone
Davis were playing all over the city at the same places we were. At this point my father was managing us full-time,
with only a part-time shift at the mill. Mom had some doubts about the soundness of this decision, not because she
didn't think we were good but because she didn't know anyone else who was spending the majority of his time trying
to break his children into the music business. She was even less thrilled when Dad told her he had booked us as a
regular act at Mr. Lucky's [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a Gary nightspot. We were being forced to spend our weekends in Chicago and other
places trying to win an ever-increasing number of amateur shows, and these trips were expensive, so the job at Mr.
Lucky's was a way to make it all possible. Mom was surprised at the response we were getting and she was very
pleased with the awards and the attention, but she worried about us a lot. She worried about me because of my age.
"This is quite a life for a nine-year-old," she would say, staring intently at my father.
