- I was considered the ideas man. Like, I had a bass line for [the Four Tops' song] I Can't Help Myself. That phrase "Sugar pie, honey bunch" was something my grandfather used to say when I was a kid, and it just stayed with me and went in the song. Lots of childhood memories came back to me and I started using them as song titles.
