To Bob Lefsetz

Hi! Hope U are ok and staying safe and sane or at least safe! Saw your article about selling your songs and I agree. I would never EVER sell my catalogue, it would be like selling my soul and it’s not for sale. The money being offered is insane but there is no amount of money that could ever make me do that. It’s like selling your kids or something. It’s so weird since someone like Dylan doesn’t exactly need the money. I have one of the most valuable catalogues in the world and there’s only one writer, me! But that catalogue and that writer are not for sale! Anyway, hope to see U one of these days when we can see people again Diane

Re: Babe

Hi Bob:

A mutual friend of ours forwarded me your article. So glad you got to discover the timelessness of my late husband’s song, “I Got You Babe.” I found myself experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions reading your thoughts – from mild anger, to laughter to satisfaction and smiles that you got it right in the end.

Then to see how it touched the lives of so many of Sonny’s (and Sonny and Cher’s) industry friends. What a treat! I never got the chance to meet many of your readers who knew and loved Sonny. I’d love to thank all of those who felt compelled to walk with me down memory lane. So great to know “I’ve got you to talk with me.”

Many thanks again. Be well.

Mary
