More From Burt Reynolds

I went to england to tell jokes, and i wanted to tell my smokey the bear joke, but i had to ask the english people if they knew who smokey the bear is. but they don't. in england, smokey the bear is not the forest-fire-prevention representative. they have smackie the frog. it's a lot like a bear, but it's a frog. and that's a better system, i think we should adopt it. because bears can be mean, but frogs are always cool. never has there been a frog hopping toward me and i thought, "man, i better play dead!"

The only recording studio was in motown - it was called tamla/motown at that time and we used to audition there because smokey robinson was at that studio and berry gordy was the president. i remember asking smokey to listen to my group and he did. for the first couple of years we were just singing background. we used to back up marvin gaye; mary wells was there then, marv johnson, the marvelettes, martha reeves and the vandellas, junior walker and the all-stars.
