You played a lot of guest sessions. Which were some of your favorites?

And I wanted to specifically ask about Barbra Streisand and Ringo. Jean Millington : Barbra Streisand was amazing. She was just natural, and easy to get along with.

Jean Millington : Yeah, well, loosely. He gave me the confidence to write the song in the way I did, tongue-in-cheek. But again, it was about my relationship with David, what was really so nice and loose and supportive.

Brie Darling : There were a bunch of people that inspired things at the time. Article Talk. Read Edit View history. Tools Tools. Download as PDF Printable version. In other projects. Wikidata item.
