You are way out of line in one part of your interview just would like to set everyone straite #1 BOBBY FREEMAN had 2 gold records and a national recording artist lets remember you had to sell a million records without MTV BET or VH1 Bobby Freeman's Do You Wanna Dance? has been covered by Bette Midler,The Beach Boys,Mamas & the Papas,even John Lennon on his fist solo album his favorites so lets get the real story also it was Bette Midler's first Million seller its been done by so many groups & artists & you Mr.Kamp have not done your home work Do you Wanna Dance? has & is in many movies also the play Contact & I will let you do proper homework as you should before you write about someone being a local singer Sly Stone needed Bobby Freeman his first hit the Swim Bobby sang & created the dance on stage when Sly was backing him as a band Sly is great but you kicked a fantastic artist to the curb How dare you when MR.DICK CLARK admires Bobby & had him on his show many times & talks with him today I haven't even mentioned Betty LOU's Got A new Pair of Shoes I again say DO YOUR HOMEWORK you can interview Bobby Freeman & get the truth if you dare since you wrote without researching facts the right way Bobby never was into drugs .Think he remembers the truth? If your interested to really know it you know how to reach me as a matter of fact I will write to you directly, I also knew Sly I would visit him while he was a Dj than I'd watch Bobby Freeman on stage. I was 15 years old with fake I.D. But I saw for myself what you didn't. So Mr. Kamp get in touch if you really want to know.
