It’s a business decision. That’s all it was,” he said. “I was never given an answer. Thank you, they said. Johnny Ace said maybe in six months they’d bring me back. Johnny said, ‘you’re on my list to come back. You’re a good guy Rico. You’ve done everything we’ve asked of you.’ And I never complained about anything.”
