Lamont Dozier RIP

[meltonblue]

I don't see him mentioned on the main page of the bbc Web site and there has been no tribute on bbc news unless I missed it, which in my opinion is an absolute disgrace considering his contribution to popular music history. When you think of the lengthy tributes they pay to much much lesser talents it makes you wonder.

There was earlier and on my way home from work earlier, 5 live made a big deal of it. Playing his songs throughout and got Duke Fakir on for a wonderful interview.

To put it into context.....

I've got a rconcert ecording of one of the people mentioned third, when Paul Gambaccini introduces him...

"Ladies and and Gentlemen.....

The three biggest selling writing acts of all time are
Lennon and McCartney
Holland/Dozier/Holland
Bacharach and David "

That's pretty exalted company, in anyone's business

Not at all shabby.
