Informatie over Oma Heard, geen zingende grootmoeder, maar een jonge zangeres die ook bekend is als Oma Drake en door Motown ten onrechte verward met de zangeres Oma Page.
"When she got sick, I was always doing the demos anyway", said Valerie. "I would sing with Marvin and then we'd bring her in and we'd kind of put together a vocal and doctor it up a bit. That's been perceived as I did the singing, but basically it was her singing and it was just doctored".
