I was -- I had left -- oh, no. I was still in Kalamazoo. I was in Kalamazoo. The minister who used to be in Kalamazoo had moved to Jackson, Michigan. His name was Mr. Smith, Reverend Smith, and he knew I wanted to be a singer. He knew I was a singer, and he invited me -- they had moved into Jackson from Kalamazoo. He invited me to come and sing for the youngsters in the basement of the church, and I did and I accompanied myself. That's where I met Benny Poole and his musicians, and I was still working as a domestic because there weren't that many jobs as a singer and I would work as -- I'd do day work, and I tried to be a housekeeper, but I was a youngster. I didn't know how to keep anybody's house, you know. I was working for a doctor's wife and she would get dressed up and leave me at home with her baby. She had a brand-new baby and she'd leave me there to clean up the house and take care of the baby. I was 19. So, I'd just sit in front of the TV set because I had never seen television before. It was my first time to watch television. I'd sit and hold the baby and watch television.  She came home one day, she was beside herself because I wasn't working out, you know, and she fired me, and I was relieved. I was on my way up the street to the bus with my high heeled black boots on and my yellow corduroy coat. It was really a spring coat, but I was aware of pretty. My sisters had given me. You know what I mean? Style. And I remembered her calling after me. "Anna Marie, you forgot your uniforms." I told her that it wouldn't matter because I wouldn't be needing them anymore. But I did do a few more -- I had a little more time with day work. It's really hard work. I'd come home and just sit on the couch. I couldn't move. You use muscles and things that you don't even know you have, you know. So, it was like that.
