Excerpt from a Mick Unplugged YouTube interview (uploaded June 22, 2024) in which Brenda Russell recalls growing up in a musical family. She says both parents were singers and that her mother was a songwriter; as a child she assumed all mothers wrote songs and only realized at school that this was unusual.

Well, it started with my parents because they were both singers. My mother is a songwriter. And as a child, as a little child, I thought.
All moms wrote songs, because my mom always wrote songs.
And it wasn't until I went to school that I realized I would ask kids, like, doesn't your mommy write songs?
I knew.
But that's what I thought.
I thought all moms did that. And then as I grew, I realized she was just special.
