In an interview with Spain's daily newspaper Publico, the singer said the band started singing simply to have fun and she "never imagined" that 50 years later their music would continue to be listened to.
The 64-year-old was a founding member of the 1960's chart-toppers singing with Diana Ross and Florence Ballard on such hits as "Baby Love," and "Where Did Our Love Go."
The group had several different members in the years between 1961, when it was formed, and 1977, when it disbanded.
