RIP Lamont Dozier

[Brian Roth]

The youngsters here will say "Who??" but for the folks who grew up in the sixties during the Glory Days of Motown know him well.

He also worked with Alison Moyet, Phil Collins and Mick Hucknall. A true all rounder.

Motown had it all back in the glory days , the musicianship , the sound, the equipment and the song writing skills ,
I was going to say music as we know it wouldnt be the same without them ,which is probably true but the modern stuff doesnt come anywhere near what these guys did .

Gregory Porter does evoke a very Motown like HDH vibe , not sure why he has to wear the skull cap though , was he burnt or something ?
