I've searched out and watched/listened to every interview I could find with Emilio, and have interviewed him several times myself for radio, all of which barely scracthed the surface of the incredible history and depth of his work with TOP. Cannot tell you how much I appreciate you posting this. Emilio and the band are such humble and talented individuals who truly deserve the title of recording artists, and this showcases the honesty and integrity of their music, and their commitment to making it happen for a half a century. If ever a someone ever deserved a lifetime achievement award, it's this man.
This segment reveals the switch between Rick Stevens and Lenny Williams. So Very Hard To Go was written while Stevens was still lead but emilio had lennys voice in mind for future lead vocals.
This digs much deeper than all other interviews from the band that is available to watch. All others seem to be a sampling of more to come, but only scratching the surface. As emilio states, hes the one with the memory. His interviews now versus 20 years ago still indicate a strong and sharp recollection of the band from start to present. Appreciate these interviews!

There is nothing better than listening to the story that led to a great song. Motown legends Holland-Dozier-Holland tells some great ones.
