Lamont Dozier, Motown Songwriter Behind Countless Classics, Dead at 81

So sad to hear this. 1/3 of one of the greatest songwriting teams ever. Thanks for so many memorable songs over the years. RIP

As part of the incomparable songwriting team Holland–Dozier–Holland, the Detroit native co-wrote some of Motown’s most enduring songs

Lately, a few people have asked me about the podcast. I've had to put it on the back burner for now. I've had some personal issues to deal with and I am also pushing hard to finish my CD, "Muse Cafe." Once things are resolved and the record is finished the podcast will move forward full steam ahead.
