Q&A with

Lorna Libbet

& Earl Vaults

Question 1. How did you get started in the Music Industry?

Lorna Libbett:

I was born into a Extremely Large Musically Creative Family environment, and I grew up near and
around the Motor City and Motown, I played with and listened to stacks and stacks of Vinyl 78’s and
45 Records, along with the old Record Players, the Spindles that kept the Records in place and the
Needles that helped produce the sounds while the Records were Spinning. I was a toddler when the
first song I learned to sing was the Popular Singing Groups “Temptations” “My Girl” my cousin and
her teen age friends made the mistake of letting me sing into a microphone and recorded me singing
on an old tape recorder, they tried to find ways to keep me from singing (but it was too late)!!!!
