As a teen, Billie was close friends with "Angelo Moore" founder and lead singer of the musical group "Fishbone". The pair, along with another friend, took the bus on several occasions from Woodland Hills, California to Sunset & Vine in Hollywood to dance on the long running hit show "Soul Train". Soul Train was then taped at the head quarters for A&M Records,originally the "Charlie Chaplin Studios" built by Chapman in 1917.
